About Bakewell
Bakewell punches above its weight for a small Peak District town. You'll find 15 cafés, 5 restaurants, 12 pubs and 4 supermarkets, plus a local hospital, GP practice and two pharmacies. Schools are mostly Good or Outstanding — Lady Manners secondary and Stanton-in-Peak primary included — and crime sits well below the national average, with rates falling further in 2026.
Property here costs £652,000 for a detached home and £366,000 for a semi. Rents run from £550 for a one-bed to £1,261 for four or more bedrooms.
You'll need a car — public transport is limited — but the A6 offers solid road links. The real draw is the surrounding countryside: clean air and genuine outdoor appeal on your doorstep.
