It is located just 0.2 miles from the centre of Bakewell, known as the jewel in the Peak District s crown, dotted with quaint shops, galleries, tearooms, and centuries old pubs and restaurants. The local area is a mecca for walkers and cyclists: Bakewell lies at the start of the renowned Monsal Trail, an old railway line now used for recreation, offering scenic walks and cycle tours through the National Park.
