There is no direct rail link to bakewell as the railway station was closed by doctor beeching in the 1960s.

Locals will always view a place differently from any tourists/ visitors! Went to Bakewell a few weeks ago . Still a lovely , unspoiled town with lots of character and a diversity of shops and other attractions! Hasn’t changed much since I first went there back in the 1980s! 👍🤓🧁

I strongly disagree!! Not changed much since the 1980’s!! Apart from the cattle market been moved total redevelopment of the Granby Croft area to allow a “supermarket” in, this in turn killed off the true centre!! Every shop since the 80’s has changed several times, with fewer outlets actually catering to the people who actually live here!! In the 80’s there were no charity shops today we have coach company’s providing maps of the town centre showing where the charity shops are!!! Families are been forced to move away due to a lack of anything remotely affordable. Please show me which part of bakewell has remain unchanged since the 80’s!!

Bakewell sold it's soul many years ago. Yes it's a lovely place, but it has little integrity. Where are the old families? Forced out by wealthy commuters and retirees. It's not really a Derbyshire town anymore - other than providing seasonal work for people from Matlock, Buxton and Chesterfield, what does it do for us? It's a place people buy houses so they can say they've "made it" and bought a house in the Nation Park - whilst us locals have to leave the town (and villages) where we've lived for generations to make way for gentrification. You can keep Bakewell nowadays - it's just a plastic pastiche of what it used to be.

The researchers of this video need to get their facts right. Rail transport is non existent. There is no direct link, it lost its rail link in 1968. Road access can be tedious and it is many miles from the nearest motorway. As for the busiest town in Derbyshire, I think the people of Buxton Chesterfield Glossop and Matlock would disagree with that. House prices are also the highest in Derbyshire.

Be warned be people, what he doesn't tell you is, it's very expensive to live in Bakewell , the shops aren't cheap either. The country side is the only good thing about living in Bakewell

Please forgive my rudeness, but what a load of claptrap……on all but one of those points you raised. That was the countryside!! Btw the pictures/vids used to show the bakewell pudding were not of the bakewell pudding actually made here….and that’s just the tip of the iceberg with this production!!
