This review is for the visitors centre itself. It's the old market hall. Look up at the ceiling to see an astounding old building. Found right next to one of the main roads , this is a great central point for information. Inside you have not only souvenirs, but an array of local information. Upstairs there's an interactive map to show you places all over the Peak District worth visiting. If you're a visitor, or even a frequent tourist, this place is the best to come for help, suggestions, ideas or even a simple map. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff.

Great place to visit set in the Peak District National Park, good variety of independent shops along the famous Bakewell Pudding Shop. Great street market every Monday, also a livestock market which is worth a visit if you have never been to one. Would recommend.

Very kind and helpful staff in a beautiful old English building. Lovely gifts and small bits to buy, plenty of hiking maps and travel guides available. Great advice given by staff. Thank you.

A nice day in Bakewell, bought orchids, an unusual fruit, Avon eye shadows, and Parker pen refills. Lunch at the very pleasant" Proper Pastie shop" we always pop in and chat to the owner , we would highly recommend.

When to the Bakewell Christmas market. Parking is a nightmare so if you're visiting bear this in mind. Not very big but had a few enjoyable hours out with friends.

The town was lovely but busy, especially with large wagons passing through. We enjoyed our time down by the river and park where we ate our Bakewell tarts😁 watching the fish in the river. Had a nightmare paying for the car park as the machine kept refusing our contactless payment but had taken the money out of my account, all sorted now thankfully!!

Very well presented staff. An authentic historical building with many original features limited menus but food quality and presentation perfect. Relaxing ambiance and competitive prices. Can't wait to return.

Always injoy our visits to this really lovely place
