Bakewell is the largest town within the Peak District National Park and is a hub of activity. Market day is on a Monday and as well as a large range of stalls there is also an agricultural market which is definitely worth a look around as it offers a great insight todays farming community. The town also hosts a craft and gift fair every weekend in Brigade town hall. The Bakewell Old House Museum occupies one of the oldest buildings in Bakewell and dates back to 1543, it provides a fascinating glimpse into the towns past and is very interesting and informative with lots to appeal to all ages. Obviously no trip to Bakewell would be complete without sampling an original Bakewell pudding. The Old Original Bakewell Pudding Shop claims to have the old the original recipe and still makes the puddings by hand from the secret recipe.

Just down the road from the property in the village of Monyash is the starting point of one of Derbyshire best known walks through the beautiful Lathkill Dale. Lathkill Dale is a fine example of a limestonedale, the river Lathkill rises just below Monyash and flows down to meet the Wye just below Haddon Hall. The valley is full of interesting flora and fauna, the upper part of the valley is a National Nature Reserve and is managed by Natural England with several Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI’s.) The lower part of the valley is equally stunning as the river widens and is a perfect spot for picnics and maybe a wild swim in the summer.

Built in 1810 as a marble works The Woodyard has a long history in Bakewell. Some of the main features of the mill are still visible in the restaurant. The glass floor in front of the bar shows the old millstream running through the building. After being a mill for some years the building was split into two sections, the front remaining as a marble works, with the back section being turned into a woodyard. The restaurant was formerly called The Pointing Dog & Duck but when Cath and Malc took over they changed it to The Woodyard as they are local people and knew the buildings history. The Woodyard we offer a relaxed and friendly environment accompanied with fresh homemade food. We also have extensive seating it our amazing beer garden, which is the only beer garden in Bakewell which over looks the river Wye.
With years of experience cooking in the finest restaurants, our chef is excited to present their vision to you and all our guests. Our caring and committed staff will ensure you have a fantastic experience with us.
