Bakewell is a well-known town, not only for its tasty Bakewell Puddings, but for its shops, restaurants and pubs, as well as the renowned local farmers market. Situated within the Peak District National Park, Bakewell has something for everyone, from stately homes, such as Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and Hardwick Hall and Lyme Park to the rugged, dark and limestone White Peak, which are all close by. Impressive caverns, such as the Blue John Cavern in Castleton and Little John’s Grave in Hathersage, are not to be missed, along with a trip to Buxton to visit the famous Buxton Opera House, designed by the same designer as the London Palladium, or the newly refurbished Crescent with its shop and spa. For the thrill seekers Alton Towers is also accessible. This really is the ideal place to stay and enjoy all that this wonderful area has to offer! Shops, pubs and restaurants right on the doorstep. There are numerous bus routes that will allow you to travel throughout the peak district. We recommend that the best way to get around is by car, however If you just want to don your boots and set off straight from Welford House, there’s an obvious choice. Chatsworth is about a 10 mile round trip on foot. Start by walking to the end of Granby Road and cross the love locks bridge over the river. Head around the front of the cattle market and follow the signs for the Monsal Trail. You’ll see up on the hillside that there’s a golf course between you and the trees on the horizon. You need to cross the golf course and go up through the woods. After the cattle market you’ll emerge onto Coombs Road. Turn left and walk about a hundred yards until you see a footpath leading up to some houses on the hill. Take this path and just keep on it until you find you have crossed the golf course and are in the woods. Once on the path in the woods, just try to head as directly uphill as possible. Sometimes the path is a little hard to make out, but keep going up, not sideways! You’ll final come to a little gate in the wall at the top of the woods that leads out onto grass land. Heading roughly East North East, try to aim for the next woods on the horizon in front of you and once you reach them, stick to the wall with the woods on your left. The hill will descend and eventually you’ll come to quite a wide gated gap in the woods. Go through there and just keep going. You’ll see Chatsworth directly.
