This is an absolute jewel of a place. Originally built in the middle ages, because the family moved out when they were awarded a dukedom, the hall was mothballed for years and so you can see how so many previous generations lived. There are sections of the Hall that cant be accessed as the family still live there, but what you can see is amazing. It would be difficult for those less mobile to get around as there are hills and steps and the floors are quite uneven in parts but it is definitely worth the effort to see it. The gardens are also a joy. Set over many terraces, they look directly over the river and are kept absolutely beautifully. They also have a café that is serving lovely food, their cakes were so substantial we were stuffed. There is a fee for the car park that doesn’t seem fair, and I thought that the entrance fee of around £17 was rather steep when paying it but I personally found that it is worth every penny of the entrance fee (still don’t think its fair to pay for the car park as well tho).

Visited the Tap Room for a short session on a brief visit to Bakewell. We pre booked as advised given the recent lockdown easing and only outside seating available. Well set up and organised for online ordering with a good range of beers; pizza choices good and well prepared etc. Would love to come back (without being designated driver) and with friends later in the year - would recommend highly but book in advance where you can as it was getting very busy.

This is a stunning walk with good paths and mostly flat along the bubbling River, if in summer take a picnic and just sit and watch life go by ...Just Beautiful.
