Of course, if you are visiting Bakewell then you need to try its famous Bakewell Pudding and Bakewell Tart. We've had both to go and also sat in the beautiful restaurant. There are numerous bakeries in the area that do this dish, but my favourite is at the Old Original Bakewell Bakery. I mean how stunning is it inside!
Out of the Tart and Pudding, I preferred the Tart and I definitely preferred it with custard and not cream. We also ordered coffee and tea and spent a good hour just taking in the place and working our way through the baked goodies. The staff were incredible and I think that really added to the experience. Downstairs has a lovely bakery that you can buy all sorts of goodies from and also a gift shop for local treats and beers, which of course we partook in.
We usually end the day with a sweet treat on the way back to the car and this year we tried a Bakewell slice from one of the local bakeries. In terms of ratings, I wouldn't get it again as it wasn't for me haha. But there are many more slices and sweet treats for me to work through during our next trip.
This is by no means an exhaustive list of everything you can do in Bakewell. There are numerous other things such as walking the local trails, fine dining and wine tasting to do. All things we haven't tried out yet. But I hope you've got to enjoy the smaller things that we love to do whilst visiting Bakewell and hopefully its inspired you for your next trip!
Until Next Time
