Bakewell is an ancient market town known as the 'Capital of the Peaks' and sits in the White Peak area of the Peak District National Park. Straddling the river Wye, this ancient town is the largest in the Peak Park. Next door is Chatsworth House the seat of the Dukes of Devonshire and the third most visited stately home in the UK.
