About

Bakewell South sits along the River Wye and forms the southern approach to Bakewell town. The market square and Bridge Street remain focal points, with the Old Original Bakewell Pudding Shop close to the riverside crossing. Streets radiate from the square to riverside walks, parish church and the town’s market days. Small lanes give access to farmland and public footpaths that follow the Wye through the Derbyshire Dales.

Darley Dale lies on the west bank of the River Derwent and is served by a heritage line at Darley Dale station, used by Peak Rail. The village grew with quarrying and the railway, and its riverside paths link to bridges and former mills. Youlgreave sits on the River Bradford at the head of several limestone dales; narrow streets lead to a packhorse-style bridge and to footpaths into Lathkill and Cales dales. Each summer villagers prepare decorated clay boards for the well dressings, an annual display at the village wells that draws local visitors and walkers.
