Bakewell is the only market town inside the Peak District National Park, a charming town on the River Wye famous for the Bakewell Pudding — a pastry filled with egg and almond filling created by accident in 1860 — and the Monday market that has operated since 1254. The town is an excellent base for the Monsal Trail cycling route, the Haddon Hall medieval manor, and the Lathkill Dale and Bradford Dale nature reserves. Hotels in Bakewell are at the most conveniently central point in the Peak District for exploring both the White Peak and Dark Peak.
