 BAKEWELL
One of the most picturesque approaches to Bakewell is to drive into the town on the A619, crossing the 14th century bridge with its string of five gothic arches, which has coped for almost 700 years with the ever-increasing flow of traffic. This then leads you directly to Bridge Street where a one-way system operates, taking you to the heart of the town at Rutland Square.
Standing guard over the bridge on the western side is a huge horse chestnut tree, which in spring has a wonderful display of blossom. Leading off Bridge Street is Castle Street, a reminder that Bakewell was a fortified town way back in 924, when Edward the Elder, son of Alfred the Great built a military post after he had succeeded in his campaigns against the Danish invaders. It is thought that the site of this fortification was in a riverside meadow just south of the town, but any remains have long since disappeared. All that exist now are the references such as Castle Street and nearby Castle Hill.
