Beautiful place to visit only walked in the grounds and went into the farm shop which is jammed with so many fresh and locally made produce its amazing, bit more expensive, but worth it. Massive range to choose from. The Cafe's are lovely food smelled and look delicious and luxurious. The toilets alone are very different, they are all mirrored in and out of the cubicles in gold. They are very clean and neat. The grounds are vast and beautiful, there are picnic areas, we took a picnic, plenty of Sheep wandering around, you need to take care where you walk and drive. They also have Deer and Cows. There are private gardens that you can pay to look round and also the house which will cost you a fee. They had a Man on Fire exhibition in the grounds, these were from America. They had a small good fair there where you could sample food which is sold in the Farm Shop. Good place to go to take your dog, but must be kept on their lead. Plenty of security staff around to keep eye on things. Wonderful place to take kids and wear them out, there's a lovely little river to watch the ducks. It's a lovely day out especially if the sun is out, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Really nice walk around the garden with the dog. Lots to see and do to explore and so very well maintained. We entered the gardens from the entrance by the stables where there was no queue - tip tip from one of the volunteers...

Visited whilst the Christmas market was on and the place was amazing. House staff were really attentive and the rooms were fantastic. The tour accommodates wheelchair access via a lift hidden away but the staff were always on hand to direct and help with this. In the market area ramps were hidden down the side of some of the cabins allowing access up the kerbs, we didn't find these until later in the day. The light show on the South face of the hall needs to be more widely publicized as people were walking past in their droves minutes before it began blissfully unaware of what was about to start. Overall, a fantastic day out and waiting to see what they plan for next year.

Absolutely magnificent experience, with endless things to explore. We spent hours in the gardens because they were so huge and pretty with loads of hidden areas to see. The house was beautiful and the overall trip was well worth the money. This place is a must visit 🙌

Great place to visit & explore. The sculptures on display were great. Radical Horizons exhibition. Parking was reasonable and plenty to do just paying for parking. Unless you have a full day to explore I wouldn't pay to go in the house/gardens. We will be back for a full visit.

Such a grand stately home with tons of arts displays complimenting the historical pieces. Love the vast garden, with different sites of scenery, not enough to see them all in a day. Kids love the farm yard and adventure playground. I would love to go there again with the 50% off voucher. Can easily spend a lovely day out with family here.

A lot of 🐑 on the park, they are very cute. You can interact with them directly. Garden was amazing, you must buy the ticket for garden. Recommend Cascade, Maze, and the fountain. The house inside was luxurious. It's hard to believe a family can have so many valuable collections.

Great day out with the kids. They particularly loved being allowed to play the piano in the house and the violin in the cupboard room. Staff were really friendly and knowledgeable, gave the kids just the right level of info to engage them and not go over their heads. They enjoyed the farm and play area too. There is so much to see and do, we didn't manage it all. Look forward to going back another time.

This was my first visit here. We went into the house first, then the grounds. We had dinner there too. Went in the 3rd week or September on a lucky sunny day. It was amazing, lots of staff on hand to help and chat, information card in every room and a very well presented and preserved part of English heritage. My pics don't do it justice at all. Most of them were done on my camera

Initially seemed expensive when we booked but after spending nearly 7 hours there it was well worth the money. Instantly impressive when you drive towards Chatsworth. The grounds are vast and beautiful. The guides at the start of the house tour are welcoming and knowledgeable. The house is incredible. Plenty of places to get refreshments. Take time to enjoy the different areas of the gardens. Loved it.

Arrived too late to see the house but was able to walk around the gardens. The lights and music were amazing and there are small stalls as you walk around to get a mulled wine / hot chocolate and toast marshmallows. Would definitely recommend visiting over Christmas!

We were in the area and decided to visit as it was somewhere we'd always wanted to go to. It was mid November and the Christmas theme was in place. The Christmas Market with lots of stalls was set up outside the house. The stable shops all had a festive element too. After the market we took a long walk around the grounds. Even in November there was plenty to see, cascades, sculptures, maze, lakes, fountains, rock features, etc. In order to enter the house we had to pre-book a time slot. Our trip around the house was more focused on the festive themed rooms, rather than the house itself. Maybe we need to visit again in the summer. Once the house tour was over it was back into the gardens to follow the Christmas lights trail, some of it accompanied by music. The light display on the house at the end of the walk was stunning. Absolutely fantastic end to the day. The whole experience was fantastic. Staff (some in period costume) very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

The place certainly is grandiose and the large estate grounds offer plenty of walking potential for those who wish to explore. The interior of the house is eye opening, with a lot of the rooms kept as intact as possible, with guides around to answer any questions you may have of the former occupants or the decor. The grounds are very well kept, with a rockery, maze, greenhouses and gardens available to you to explore. Visiting in the springtime provided a lot of greenery and spring flowers amongst the grounds, providing some breathtaking views. Would highly recommend a visit, a few negatives what with the ticket price being on the pricier side, and on-site food being quite pricey (e.g. £7.99 pickle and cheese sandwiches, £3.50 bottles of Coca Cola, £4.99 slice of flapjack!)

Spent the entire day within the gardens and estate park. The gardens are beautiful, as you would expect from Capability Brown, with amazing landscaping and wonderful specimen trees and planting. Had lunch in the Stables, and then enjoyed the sculptures and installations currently exhibited in the park. Well worth the entry fee, and would certainly visit again. Very highly recommended.

This was a near perfect day out. We got stuck in traffic and missed our entry slot. I phoned the house and they were aware of the problem. Told us not to worry and promised to get us in as soon as they could. This set the tone for the day. Everyone was so helpful, and pleasant to deal with. The Christmas decorations were just stunning and each room came up with different ideas. The stewards were very knowledgeable and freely gave us info about the decorating process. There was a short queue to get into the restaurant. The staff were not fazed by my onion allergy and assisted me to choose my food. The turkey cobs were really delicious. We ended our day at the farm shop with a great cup of coffee and goodies to take home.

Absolutely amazing place. It’s worth the drive from anywhere! The house is like the ones you hear or see in Disney fairy tales. The staff is super friendly and if you discuss history with them, you will spend quite the time around the corridors. Plenty of parking spaces, toilets and a lovely gift shop. Been three times and can’t get enough of it.

Loved the gardens the most, especially the rock garden with its tunnel and nearby hedge maze, but also enjoyed the house and animals at the farmyard. Do not bother with the audio guide if you go to the house - the cards in each room are actually much more informative yet concise.

Absolutely wonderful. The farm shop is a little pricey, but the produce is good. The grounds are excellent. (The roads are busy, & people do speed a little, if you let your doggie off lead, beware!) Lovely afternoon there.

Fantastic place to visit. Lots of history and culture, beautiful gardens to explore with hidden gems for the kids like the rock garden to climb on and the maze to explore. Would recommend to visit the house early as it can become busy. The staff are very knowledgeable and always happy to answer any questions or give you background information. Most of the house and ground is wheelchair accessible. Parking is £5.

The extensive Christmas market is on now and the house is decorated with an advent calendar theme during the next few weeks. There are also music and light displays through the garden, we really enjoyed this from dusk onwards. Easily a full day of adventure with food and drink available in restaurants and market stalls. I was wet when we went, they have provided a walkway which helps, we would recommend walking boots or Wellies!

It was fantastic. Very well organised despite being extremely busy. Even with the wet weather we have experienced of late, they kept us out of the wet. The house was beautiful, garden light display exceptional. The market was a nice visit. If doing the lights, the darker the better. Enjoy!

Chatsworth House is a beautiful, picturesque and grand stately home that is worthy of a day out with family. We went to visit the Christmas decorations at the house and illuminated trail around the garden. It is highly recommend to do both in the winter months. There is also a farm on the estate, which children will enjoy. Also, there is a cafe that serves a good selection of food.

Always a lovely visit. The Christmas decor was stunning. Lovely lights in the garden . Carriage house cafe always nice. Only downside in the cafe is paying for the hot food whilst waiting for everyone ordering hot drinks . Can be a while. Food nice but much nicer hot.

I have no words to describe the grandeur of this place. Not only the architecture of this stately home is spellbinding but the gardens are a thing of beauty too. To top it off all the staff are warm, welcoming and happy to share countless stories. I am already planning on visiting Chatsworth House again in the summer.

Fabulous place to visit. Highly recommend just coming for a whole day to explore the gardens, you'd need the time to do so properly. Beautiful!

Having been to many stately places over the years this one is probably the exemplar. The gardens and house were tremendous. The staff were really knowledgeable and friendly. I'm so pleased to have visited and recommend it to anyone who hasn't been and is in the area.

What an amazing place, it was my wife that really wanted to go but in the end we both really enjoyed this stunning stately home. Well worth visiting, the land around it is also amazing to walk around, and although the food is ridiculously priced it is amazing, take a little trip up the road from the house to the Chatsworth farm shop where the shop and cafe are also amazing, amazing guides at the house and lovely staff at the farm shop, all on all an amazing day out.

We visited when the house was close but was able to walk around the grounds. Parking was free due to the time of year. Staff friendly in the gift shop. Toilets open. Plenty of walking area. Beautiful building and very scenic!

Well worth a visit and lots to do and see. We walked the large grounds, visited the house which is a testament to wealth, and checked out the gardens. We did not have time for the farm or the farm shop, maybe next time.

What an outstanding place to visit. Buildings and grounds are extremely well kept. A big shout out to the staff all are kind ,caring and knowledgeable. Having visited with my elderly in-laws, we hired 2 mobility scooters and after a walk around the house the staff bought the scooters up to the exit to the building for my in-laws to explore the grounds. Many thanks and highly recommend

I've never been to a more incredibly opulent British stately home. It has an impressive presence as you catch sight of it from the drive, and even the stables could be a fine aristocratic home. I have visited palaces and not seen so much beautiful splendour. I highly recommend a visit inside the house, and a wander around the gardens. The house sits down amongst the hills with panoramic views on all sides of classic English countryside. There are plenty of places to eat at the property. My tip is to gift aid your ticket as we received a voucher back for over £15 to spend in the cafes or shops. It meant our lunch was only £11. There is a small farmyard and adventure playground for children, plenty of parking and I'm sure it would be a great family day out. There is a warm building in the farmyard to eat a picnic if it's raining. This place was on my 'bucket list' of places to visit, and it lived up to expectations.

Today is the last day of Haddon Hall Artisan Market. There is already a Christmas atmosphere, and the weather is very good today. It snowed heavily at noon. ❄️ We enjoyed to visit the house which is over 900 years old. Also saw a lot of artists Christmas or art works, very good, the price is not very expensive. It's £7.50 per people and it's free for children. We feel good today, and it's worth going to see.👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Very interesting and different ‘stately home’ visit being medieval rather than Elizabethan on. Many of the original medieval features remain without being updated, and the free guided tour was very informative. Stone floors are very uneven and very few handrails as original so worth bearing in mind. Gave a real informative insight into this period of history. Nice restaurant too, 2-3 hours is adequate time.

Hadden Hall has a lovely warm feeling about it. I believe it's the only stately house to not have been damaged in the war. You can tell it was a loving family home with no nasty skeletons in the closet. Definitely worth a visit though very pricey for what you get. No real gardens or land to explore just a section of the house. The restaurant is lovely with home cooked food and obviously popular as many tables reserved on a Thursday.

Haddon Hall is a beautiful manor house, where you can see about a dozen rooms, chapel, a tiny museum, and gardens. It is well presented, with about two pages of information in each room that tells of its history and notable items, like tapestries. However, the entry fee feels quite expensive at about £25 per adult plus another £3.80 per car to park. We spent a pretty leisurely hour in reading/seeing most things, so felt a bit steep in price compared to other comparable homes in England. The restaurant had pretty good food like jacket potatoes, sandwiches, soup, a few other mains, in addition to cakes and hot beverages. It's also slightly expensive and seating was a bit tight around 12:30/12:45, but the food came out quickly and was tasty so a nice stop if visiting Haddon Hall.

The Hall is very historic, quite lovely and well cared for. An excellent free 30 minutes guided tour is available, on the hour and half past. After that you're left to wander those rooms open to the public, and some of the garden. We found this took another hour or two, the majority of the hall is private. It was £75 for the three of us, including parking (£3.80), which we might have felt better value were we permitted to walk the paths by the river, or the battlements on the public side.

Haddon Hall has been on my list for a while, I was glad to catch the roses before they faded! A little bit of a pricey affair £23.90 entrance plus £3.80 parking, the staff in the cafe were a little rude if you ask me. Guided tours were going but I enjoy to take myself around quietly and avoid the crowds. Beautiful place, gorgeous grounds, lovely views. Would be nice if there was a bit more access to walk the wider estate. But all in all I lovely day out.

What a fantastic medieval hall, a true untouched gem. It has some truly interesting history and beautiful gardens. The guides in each room were great and answered any questions. The great hall and chapel are spectacular. There is n cafe, small gift shop, and a large car park across the road with a charge of £3.80. A good 3 to 4 hours are needed.

Just stunning place, steeped in history with one of the best tour guide opening talks I have ever heard. Friendly staff and incredibly atmospheric history. Garden is stunning, and cafe serves great food. It IS expensive: £23.50 for an adult, so with 5 of us going, that is an expensive day out. I understand that it is still a home, but feel a little more could have been open (one of the towers?) for that level of spend. I would say it is definitely one for sure-footed adults, as there are no obvious things for children to do (but they would be free entry). Both inside and outside it is very uneven with lots of steps, which contributes a lot to the incredible character but makes it inaccessible for anyone with mobility issues. There is no obvious way of making it accessible ... not on the building agenda hundreds of years ago! Externally, it is one of the most stunning places in England; romantic, historic and truly spectacular. Internally, it is fascinating, but just not that many roo.s on display. Well worth a visit if you prepared to spend the money.

I just wanted to say what a beautiful home,you can see the love everyone has for this stunning Hall.The ladies giving information about Haddon Hall were so interesting.A absolute must to see & learn the history.Thank you for a wonderful time. Restaurant food was 5 Star too 💞 The carrot cake…Wow !

Visited the Christmas market at the hall and it was beautiful. There was a great variety of stalls inside and out, so that you got a real sense of the whole building and grounds Would definitely recommend a visit

Amazing interesting place, we really enjoyed our visit. There are friendly informative guides around the house and gardens to answer any questions you may have and also plenty of information to read in each room. Particularly loved the chapel. The whole place has a nice atmosphere although there were a few people there it doesn't feel crowded and you feel free to move around at your own pace. We sat for a while in the gardens overlooking the river it was so peaceful. Some people in the reviews have commented that it's expensive, we did have a 2 for 1 gardeners world card and under 16s are free so as a family of 3 it costs just under £24 and £3.50 parking so was pretty good value for us. However if we did have to pay full price I still think it's worth a visit. Also Derbyshire residents are getting a 30% discount at the moment. We were saying its a shame you can't just go to the cafe for lunch without having to pay the entrance fee for the house as the grounds are so nice, we would definitely take a ride out for lunch occasionally 😁.

It's a full day here to get the most from your visit & the guided tours are well worth it. The house is well kept though very uneven in places due to the centuries of footfall. The gardens too are beautiful & not over-manicured. We stopped off at the café for lunch which was beautifully served, tasty & not over priced. My only gripe is at the extra car parking fee on top of the cost of admission.

Fascinating place with a wealth of history (it's so old). So points to note.. parking is across the road. It's an automatic barrier system payable on leaving by credit or debit card at the barrier (couldn't see coin facility). Oncd over the road, Tickets for the house purchased at the little hut . They don't give you a map, they don't do them. Walk up the drive & over the little bridge. The stables block has been converted into a restaurant- its upstairs, they will bring the food down for you to eat outside, but don't provide a waiter service to take orders outside. This is the only place to eat or drink, no picnic is allowed in the gardens. The walk up to the house is steep, so not for anyone with mobility problems. Once through the main gate, up on the left are toilets next to the museum (the only ones on site except by the stables). There are tours which are worth doing as the individual rooms have very limited written info, so buy a guide book (£9 June 2023). There wasn't always a guide in each room to ask questions. One guide told me they don't label items on purpose, shame as most places have a little note about what stuff is..this is my main criticism, hence the 4 stars. Overall, it's worth a visit, tho.

I'm not overly into stately homes etc, but really enjoyed Haddon Hall. It was reasonably priced, nice little gift shop and theirs a cafe & facilities. The hall itself is an impressive building with a rich history. There are guided talks, but not compulsory. It's not stuffy but public friendly with plenty to see. The gardens are as magnificent as the hall and was perfect on a warm sunny summers day. Parking is across the road from the main entrance, so be careful crossing the main road on foot. Well worth a visit if you have the chance.

Not cheap at £24 for adults over 16. Kids are free but with extra to be paid for parking and inflated prices in the cafe it’s a difficult sell (I’d recommend getting anyone under 20 in as a child as they cant check and taking your own food). However, once in the building and grounds are very impressive and with 900 years of history you can see why it’s regarded as the best example of a medieval building in the UK. It’s also been featured in many films including The Princess Bride.

Beautiful Haddon Hall was a delight to visit on Good Friday 29/03/24. The weather was kind. The guides were very knowledgeable and helpful. The hall is quite amazing, so many rooms and a stroll in the gardens too.

Really enjoyed the candlelight evening tour. W were given mulled wine and mice pies, which were delicious. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. While I wish we could have seen more of the Gomez the 5 rooms we did see were beautiful with interesting bits of history in each one.

Christmas Artisan market. Very good home crafted market , in fabulous surroundings, beautiful house and gardens ,beautifully decorated for christmas. It was a crisp winters morning. My only criticism would be ,for more notification ,regarding access ♿ it's a grade 1 listed building ,with certain restrictions . There is a flight of stairs to the house and to the restaurant outside. Be very aware of uneven floors , and steps with no railings . Otherwise beautiful.

Visited for the Christmas Market on Saturday. Very enjoyable experience. Parking is just a short walk from the house. Lots of stalls for food, drinks and Xmas things everywhere. It was busy but that was expected. The ticket price for the market was only £9.50 and can walk around the hall so it's value for money.

It's been one place we've had on our to do list for a while and just managed to get ourselves there for one of the final days before it closes over the Winter months. We visit a lot of places with our English Heritage and National Trust memberships, so we have a good feel for historical places and buildings. There is plenty of dedicated parking associated to the Hall that's not too far away 5-10mins walk, but that is the only place really to park. The visit, although in winter was lovely, the sun was shining, so we were able to wander around the gardens, which are well maintained. The Long Gallery, Chapel, and the Great Hall are all beautiful examples of the Tudor period and are very well refurbished and presented. The staff were helpful and friendly, and the lady giving the guided tour of the Chapel was excellent. I did feel that at some points it was a little bit lacking in maybe descriptive literature to engage you in the environment of each room (kitchen area mainly), and maybe due to the season and time of year the staff seemed busy on managerial work rather than being around to answer questions in particular rooms. However, when they were, the information they provided was good. For the size of the place, you felt you are only seeing half of the Hall, which makes you feel like you are missing out on something. However, I suppose you have to understand it's a working, livable space as well. The cafe/restaurant was in a separate outbuilding up a flight of stairs before your entered the main gates of the Hall. It is well presented and great for hot food with some nice choices and variation on the menu. However, we just had Tea and Cake, again lovely selection to choose from. Staff friendly and helpful. The little museum showing found artefacts during the refurbishment was a very interesting section on the look around. Overall would recommend a visit

This was my first experience of visiting Haddon Hall Mercatum Market and I was impressed with the stalls and decorations. I was disappointed with the parking experience as it was very muddy and one lady was slipping so badly that she returned home. The traffic delayed us due to so many Christmas events at the same time.I think more could have been done to hasten the parking. I did object to the queue once I arrived at the admission point, as there was only one person scanning tickets and there were about twenty people waiting and we had already lost an hour of our time.The rooms were very crowded and I did wonder on the top floor how people would evacuate if there was a fire alarm. Ideally a one way circuit would have helped but difficult to implement. Times tickets? All in all it was lovely and well worth the ticket money.

I visited this charming museum today with my 7 year old. It was eclectic, lovingly curated, and enthusiastically staffed by volunteers. The walk up to it it was quite hard work. The staff are keen to greet you as you arrive, and gave my daughter a little Victorian maid mob cap and apron to wear, which she loved. The collection is a mixture of household and everyday items and more general objects that have been donated by local people. I would say there is probably something to appeal to most people's particular historical interests. Artifacts aside, the house itself is quite fascinating, having undergone transformations of form and usage since it was built. Don't skip the short video that plays at the start, it's a great introduction to the house.

Gave us local history on the building itself as well as a good history of bakewell. Lots of fascinating exhibits. Volunteers very helpful and informative. There is also a short 7min video to watch upon arrival

The museum is well worth a visit if you are in the area, and so is the church.

Anyone visiting this lovely town, should take the Bakewell Guided Tour run by The old House Museum. Excellent and knowledgeable information given by our very enthusiastic guide. We learned so much about this beautiful town we have walked around so many times and knew nothing about. Rich history and the guide threw in a couple of Ghost stories as well !!. Altogether a very pleasurable experience, we definitely recommend a visit to The Museum and the Guided Tour.😀

A fascinating insight into local and social history. Set in a house begun in Henry VIII's time and often adapted. Thus quite small, but nonetheless very interesting.

Beautiful house with lots of history. The staff there were very helpful and knew lots of information about the place and the artefacts displayed there. Reasonably priced at £6.50, which is valid for a year and you also get discounts at other attractions in Derbyshire if you show them your ticket.

What a gem of a Museum. You learn so much.

Interesting local museum full of excentric but interesting charm. Enthusiastic local curators were full of pride in their museum.

Having been to Bakewell on many occasions and we had never been to the Old House Museum so decided to visit. What a great place to find out about the house and Bakewell plus there are lots of memorbilia. There was a fantastic exhibition of 70 years of Queen Elizabeth II reign. The lady who was on duty was very knowledgeable and friendly. Well worth the £6 entry (12 months)and the walk up the hill.

A great little knowledge hub for a quaint little village in the peak district. Many old and rear artifacts about the history of the area and information about the way things were. Successions are available for carers. We paid only £10 for a group of four of us. Building is on two floors.

Beautiful little museum within Bakewell. Very interesting range of displays and the house itself is an exhibit all its own! Also your ticket is good for entry at any time within 12 months of purchase if you'd like to return.

It's a wonderful building with a lot of history and a lot to see. I feel some bits like the video needs updating a bit, but really it felt very relaxing to walk about the house reading about stuff. And yes as a cyclist I had to take a picture of the bicycle!

Interesting place for a day out. Not much to do but very good if you like looking round old village shops.

A hidden gem ,a Tudor house that has been turned into a museum. The building and objects tell the story of Bakewell from rural to industrial life through the ages. there is also a costume display from Tudor times to the twenties .A very interesting collection well worth a visit.

First time visiting Thornbridge but it won't be the last. The house tour given by tour guide Kym was brilliant. She was very knowledgeable and funny. The hall has some very interesting history! One of the highlights was being able to have a go on the current owner's adult size rocking horse in the kitchen. Where else can you say that?! The gardens are beautiful and we can't wait to come back in summer when everything is in full bloom. Quakers cafe is lovely and clean with friendly staff. Highly recommend the cream tea (the scones are homemade and come as a choice of fruit or cheese). You can buy meat that comes from a smallholding on the estate. The beef, pork, sausage and bacon is some of the best we've ever tasted. The entire estate is dog friendly including the house tour so highly recommend a visit with your canine companion. There is plenty for children to do including a playground with games and meet the animals. Large car park with plenty of spaces. There was a Makers Market on while we visited where we were able to buy lots of artisan products and amazing food. There is a brewery on the estate which make their own beers, all of them being excellent in my opinion. You can even buy them in the cafe! Thank you for a fabulous day out Thornbridge 👏😁

Lovely place. The Hall is spectacular although lived in so not open to the public. The grounds are well worth a visit. Clearly still in the process of being restored but still very scenic and interesting. Nice cafe although large slow queue meant we skipped it and sent elsewhere. Access to the gardens was free in January when we went. Car park busy but suspect some parked there for a walk not just the hall. Bet the gardens will be even nicer in summer. Glad we. Made the effort to go.

Lovely half day out. Staff friendly, cafe serving good food. Tour of the hall interesting, mix of old and new ... Also included were some rooms where family live, thanks to Emma and Jim. Outside smaller children will enjoy the play area. We will return in the warmer days to see the grounds in full bloom..

We had a great visit, very friendly cafe, which is dog friendly and has locally sourced produce. The gardens are free to visit in March and have different themes including a kitchen garden, Italian and a really interesting orangery. Finally we popped to the open plant shop. The whole atmosphere is of a family run business which is full of character.

Very beautiful gardens which are well worth a visit if you're in the area. Also an excellent tea rooms. I drove, but there's easy access from the cycle path that goes right past.

Definitely our favourite stately home that has only been opened to the public 18 months. Super friendly owner who loves to chat to visitors. An amazing restoration with a mixture of old and new styles. Lots of items in and outside the house that belonged to Chatsworth and Duncombe Park. 100% dog friendly including on the house tours. Wonderful gardens that are partnered with RHS. Great cafe. All the staff energetic and super friendly. Highly recommended

What a fantastic place! We visited while camping at Beech Croft Farm around 15 minutes away with our 19 month old daughter and 3 dogs. We loved exploring the gardens, everywhere was immaculate and beautiful planting, better than anywhere we have ever visited before! So much for children to do, sandpit, paddling pool, farm animals. Will definitely be back!

Lovely (not huge) place to visit. It has really pretty and varied gardens to explore and on a quiet day relax in especially down by the water. Reasonable range of plants for sale, free parking, decent little cafe, dog friendly....would definitely like to go back and book a tour of the house itself. Would definitely recommend. Probably only need a couple of hours to take everything in....not a whole day place.

Such a beautiful find! Amazingly beautiful gardens, fantastically interesting and peaceful to walk around. Some gorgeous flowers, plants and beautiful well loved and well presented gardens with hidden spaces and pieces of art. Great place to take children to explore nature, stepping on stones over natural stream and feeling away from it all somewhere safe and enchanting. Little hidden outdoors library snug and a comfortable cafe with indoor and outdoor seating, fire pits and lights, and gifts and meat and also animals to see and feed. Lovely place to visit 😊 pretty perfect day out!

What an amazing incredible place to visit!!! Went to visit our family member here and we spent the whole day exploring and having fun, We went from feeding the cutest goats/sheep and then fed the pigs, Off to Quackers Cafe for coffee and had the best sausage roll ever OMG!! WOW!! Then we went to the Emporium and Garden Centre and bought lots of plants to take home….what a variety they have amazing!!! some stunning plants and gorgeous flowers to choose from and so beautifully kept!! Also a gift shop with ideal gifts to take home (and some for me and my daughter too :) The gardens are impeccable and so so beautiful!! The walks around the estate are so gorgeous…stunning!!! Did the house tour and wow! Fantastic!! The history and the background of Thornbridge Estate is extremely fascinating and very interesting and to hear how the new owners have restored the estate and how it’s going from strength to strength it is absolutely fabulous…..the whole place is incredible and the views…..breathtaking!!!! The tour guide Andrea is so lovely, extremely knowledgeable and friendly and fun and Thank you for sharing all your wonderful expertise we really enjoyed ourselves. All the staff we met from start to finish were so lovely, friendly, welcoming and just so kind! What a wonderful place and can’t wait to come back.

Fantastic afternoon tea for two and child's afternoon tea, great value for money. Lovely, friendly and helpful staff, nothing too much trouble. Great gardens to explore with children's interactive 'animal search' card. When animal boards were found, there was a QR code to scan to learn more about them. Fountain / mini pond to catch plastic ducks. Vegetable 'nibble garden' to pick and taste / take away (be considerate to other visitors). A few farm animals to feed; goats, sheep and pigs. Overall a great experience for all the family.

Fantastic experience! We aren’t people who usually like having to do a tour, but for this house it was well worth it. We had a friendly and welcoming tour guide, we were allowed to take pictures, sit on the furniture and just simply enjoy being shown round the house. The house itself respected the history, with some incredible restoration, but inside was fun with decoration that reflected the owners personalities, making it feel truly loved. The gardens were also lovely to walk around, with little paths to find.

Great day out, plenty to engage children (huge fans of the duck pond as they call it!) Lovely trails around the garden to keep them entertained whilst adults can enjoy the scenic walks. Great food served in the cafe. Have been numerous times, it's constantly being updated and changed with more things to do. Great place, great value.

A short but fairly steep walk up the hill from the centre of Bakewell, this lovely and peaceful church provided me with a welcome respite from the bustle of the town. It stands on the site of a Saxon church, and there are some well preserved relics from that era to be seen here including ancient stone coffins, some intricately carved stones in the church porch, and two beautiful 10th century crosses in the churchyard. I found so much to interest me inside the church too, in particular the impressive monuments and the 13th century stone seats where the medieval clergy once sat. Some beautiful Victorian stained glass windows. There's a leaflet that helps you find the most interesting features, it costs just 20p and I found it very useful. You can also buy a guidebook for £2. There are some lovely views of the town and surrounding countryside from the churchyard. Well worth a visit!

This is a church well worth a visit. Atmospheric, peaceful and welcoming. An impressive landmark above the town of Bakewell. Historically important with records going back 1000 years and more. Remains of old Anglo Saxon crosses and carvings to be seen in and outside the church. Check out the opening times.

Stunning memorials, links to the Manners family history from Haddon Hall. A lovely setting in Bakewell.

Very picturesque church with a fabulous view. Cute little garden with a fabulous cherry(?) tree.

A really lovely local church, with interesting monuments very well cared for with a cafe, I really enjoyed the Christmas tree festival!

Lovely place to visit whilst in Bakewell, definitely worth the walk up the hill if you find yourself in the town centre. Amazing view from the graveyard, which is also home to an Anglo Saxon cross from 920 and gravestones dating back to at least 18th Century. There are signs in the church telling its long history and interesting facts

It's always good to find Bakewell Parish Church open. I usually play a few hymns on one of the pianos there, and gain a pop up audience. I prefer the grand piano, but this time it was locked, so the upright piano had to do. Both are in excellent condition. Thankyou.

By far the best 'Tourist Attraction' in Bakewell. A real and an interesting church but the south portch contains the real gems with an eclectic collection on display at last after two years of locked away solitude.

All Saints Church in Bakewell, Derbyshire is a very impressive church that overlooks this very pretty and picturesque market town in the Peak District.

The River Wye is a breathtaking falls and most easily accessible using the Monsal Trail. This addition to the walk was simply incredible and can be heard from quite a distance due to the power of the falls.

Lovely river and great walk if walk down it.stuff u see and bird and wildlife

Visited Bakewell. Always a charming little town.

Love it

Nice place to hangout in peak district

Just about one of the most magical sites I've ever visited. Park in the farm track lay-by,walk through the farm yard and up towards the mound encircling the stones. Pass to the left and the entrance way to the stones opens up in a magical box kinda way. The feeling is just incredible as the stones come into view. Experience the moment. You won't regret it

Lovely area, quiet when we visited 3.30pm on a cold wet thursday. But atmospheric and thought provoking in a spiritual way. Surrounding views awesome. Quid in the tin as you pass the farmhouse and a quick hello to the cows in the barn too.

Beautiful old stone circle, shame they are not still standing. Pushed down in the 1800s by some religious worriers (not warriors) of the age. Still a great place, lots of atmosphere

An absolute gem if you fancy visiting an unspoilt stone circle judged to have been in existence for many millenia ( parts dating back over 6000 years!). A pound 8nto the payment tin and a reasonably short walk rewards you with a very beautiful feeling of peace and a sense of belonging....I wouldn't call myself a spiritual person but this place just reminds me of how much more there is to life than the cost of living crisis and unattainable tomatoes 🍅 😉😊😆

This site is accessed through a farm which you are expect to pay £1 (I'm guessing to the farmers) . Not sure I agree with this when you have already paid membership to access these sites. The site itself is quite impressive but was spoiled by people flying drones above them. There is an info board , and parking is down the farm lane or at the bottom of the road 5 mins away. If pre history floats your boat you will love it

Said to be 6000 year old ancient monument is set in a beautiful location - on a sunny and dry day... All the surrounding distant hills have tumuli. Set on private land and a nominal £1 entrance fee per person.

If you have any interest in history then this is not to be missed. Incredible piece of our ancient history in a spectacular setting.

Interesting place to visit with history and good views for miles around. Parking available provided off the farm track. Remember the £1pp donation in the honesty box by the house.

10 minute walk from car park. You do go over field so if its wet wear boots. Magical place to sit with your ancestors and enjoy the view.

I visited because I wanted to visit all english heritage sites. With no car, i don’t recommend coming here as i cycled 40minutes along a roads to come here from the nearest station of buxton. It is basically a bunch of rocks scattered in a circle with a mud mound around it. The journey itself getting here was fun though.

A well preserved stone circle and barrow. Well worth a visit if you’re into Neolithic remains it if you simply want somewhere to sit and chill with nature.

This is a nice little visit that doesn't take much time, or if you're not a great walker. There's a small layby on the road at the bottom of the farm track with space for about 4 cars. Near the top of the farm track on the right, there's parking for about 6 vehicles. The track up to the farm is about 200 yards long and on an incline but not terribly steep. There's an honesty box for £1 per visitor. Walk up between the farm buildings through a wooden gate, turn left, then walk up to the next wooden gate, where there's an English Heritage sign with site information. The stone circle is just beyond this gate. This is a peaceful spot, and you are rewarded with a lovely view of the surrounding area.

Great place reminds me of Stonehenge. The admission is £1 that you put in a small black box located on the path to the site (See Photos). You go through two wooden gates to the stones that are located on the farm when I say farm I mean you have to walk over part of a farm the stones are not far from the main road maybe a 5 minute walk. The site is awesome and the sunset is out of this world there is a few signs with some history about the site well worth visiting here. Parking is a small layby on the site or there is a layby on the road that you can park on and both are free.

Lovely lil henge on a private farm. Turn down the dirt path to the farm and there’s parking for 4 cars. Put a couple quid in the honesty box and head up. Very accessible 4 min walk up the hill (though can be muddy in the rain, so wear good shoes). Very peaceful surrounds and we were entirely on our own when we were there, which made for an extra lovely time.

Road upto the parking area is uneven and is a chalk road so be careful when approaching. Their is a charge of a £1 per adult but kids go free. The monument is situated on private land. The walk is short and not too challenging and once up the views from the circle are breathtaking. The circle and earth works are impressive. Their is a short walk to the burial mound. Over a stile or two and then down back to the farm yard. We throughly enjoyed the visit.

Brilliant, but only if you're interested in this kind of stuff... It's a henge, and a pretty big one - but don't think you're going to see Stonehenge...

We did the experience (£15 each) however it didn't include any walking around of the site just a short chat, video and tasters. It was slightly disappointing from that aspect (based on price). However, the taproom was cool to sit in, mind a bit cold. Staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Plenty of drinks to try and good little shop.

What a fantastic venue, we had a great time. Beer was fab and you can buy in thirds too so you get to sample more 😍 Although it is in an industrial area they have done an amazing job and made it look fantastic. Lots of space to sit both inside and outside and is dog friendly too. Not very well sign posted for those that walk there, we ended up walking through the factory grounds but the staff in the yard were really helpful in directing is to the taproom. They serve pizzas that are gorgeous too, loved them. The only downer on the visit was the first girl that served us was not very welcoming and quite miserable.

A friend and I visited for the Brewery Experience and cannot recommend it enough. We went for the Sunday 11.30am slot knowing we’d finish for lunch and be able to grab a pizza (they’re worth the visit alone!!). Liam, our host, welcomed us at the door and was great throughout. Welcoming, relaxed, educational and a great conversation for two lads that like their beer! After the experience, we found a table in the tap room, selected our pizzas and continued to try their wide selection of keg and cask options. A really good day was had and all for a very reasonable cost.

Fantastic space! Open and airy with the buzz of chatter filling the hall. Great selection of beers on tap, staff were really friendly and helpful. Pizza cooked on site was delicious and the cask Jaipur was just 👌🏼 Visited on a Thursday afternoon, was sad to leave but will definitely be back!

We visited the Thornbridge Brewery Tap Room on a family trip to Bakewell. We stopped off for a couple of pints before arriving at our accommodation. Everything I tried was very good. There is a big selection of beer, wine and spirits. Food is also served, which is mainly pizza and pasta. You can also buy the beers to takeaway. The place is spacious and well laid out. It is dog friendly, complete with a dog station, which is a real nice touch. There is also outside seating.

Great venue tucked away on the edge of Bakewell. Really good atmosphere plenty of seating but worth booking a table to be sure you can get in especially at the weekend. Great selection of beers and a fab pizza kitchen offering some really good food. You can also pick up some souvenirs and beers to take home from the shop.

Definitely 5 stars for the brewery tap . I've been to quite a few before but really liked this one. It's huge inside with pleanty of seating. Seating outside also. There are plenty of drinks to choose from. They also have a kitchen so serve food. The shop had plenty of product's for purchase. The young lady at the bar was friendly and polite. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

This must be an inside joke for them! Charging people for an 'experience', which merely consisted of sitting in the tap room and trying 6 different beers, a vague explanation about the beers and a poorly filmed video about the brewery. Are they joking? I can buy the beer online and read about the brewery on their website. I wanted to be shown around the place to see how they make the beer, and to see their bottling and packaging process. Then we can talk about the prices, the cost of a pint is ridiculous when they literally make the beer in the same building! Its cheaper to buy in ASDA for god sake! You can do better than this Thornbridge !

We spent 5 days in Derbyshire and came across this brewery. We had a really good experience, beers are good, my wife had a cider she loved it. Pizzas are also tasty, crispy and light. Will be back next time if we drive past Bakewell.

We had Liam as our tour guide. At first I couldn't tell if he was leading the beer tasting tour or joining in, his love of beer was ample and his eyes told the secrets of a thousand pints. Learnt a lot about the brewing process and the flavour profiles of each beer. Liam taught me how to love, live and lust... Liam if you're reading this, call me. Drank a pint of the Green Mountain, Jaipur, Coal Train, Lucas and seven or so 1/3 pints. I was in no condition to remember the names of the rest of the beer i had at that point but I know for certain they were all a yellowish colour and tasted good. Walked past the pizza, smelt good, didn't try it though. People on the tour who had the pizza said the dough was made with their own beer. Very cool. Great restrooms. Urinal basins were large & very accommodating for a lad of my presitigious bladder size. Thanks.

Definately worth a visit if you like to experience different flavours of keg and cask beers. The staff were very friendly and knowledgable, the ambience of the tap was just to my liking with lots of seating and good background music. The pizzas looked fantastic for a tenner however I didn't have one. I had a couple of fantastic beers...... on both days I visited.

Long way from home but came because our local in Kent serves Jaipur. Well worth a visit. Great choice of beers - tried 2 different beer flights - and a great pizza and garlic bread. What’s not to like? A little more signage for walkers would have been helpful and whilst the staff were fabulous they really needed someone to clear the empty glasses. Lovely afternoon and left with a selection to try at home.

I've been itching to visit the Thornbridge brewery and now that it has been scratched. A group of us had a tour booked at 2:30 on Sunday the 19th of November. We arrived 15 minutes early so we were booked in and waited (with a beer of course). The tour was hosted by Will who had not been doing the roll long. But, he did a grand job and presented things really well. There was a Q&A, 10 minute video on the history of Thornbridge and 6 1/3 of beer included for £17.50 pp. Oh, and you also got a pint glass to keep at the end plus 10% off to use in the shop. Once the tour had finished you were free to sit in the confines of the brewery to finish your beer or head to the tap room for more beer which is what we did. The tap room is amazing, one of the best I've been to. The staff were very friendly and there were over 14 beer taps available. So much choice it was like Christmas. We decided to also have food. Thornbridge serve pizzas which were reasonably priced and ruddy lovely too. I cannot recommend visiting Thornbridge brewery and tap room enough.

The best brewery experience that you can imagine! There wasn’t much tour around brewery but was a lot of tasting! Highly recommended! Johnathan was amazing host and was telling us great stories and answered all questions. Make sure that you don’t have to drive after because it’s so many amazing beers to try! We got also great glasses and 10% off from the shop. Well worth the money! Gonna recommend it to everyone who’s around Peak District or who’s big beer fan. If I’ll be around I’ll pop in again too! Must try!

Pizza and beers is a perfect combo, knowledgable staff too. Great value and a lovely atmosphere inside but parking is a bit of a faff every time we go.

Short walk from the town centre 15-20mins) or a couple of minutes by car with plenty of free parking. Large, bright and warm with plenty of seating and tables, freshly baked home made pizza to partner the wide variety of beers on tap. Shop for takeaways. Brewery tours available.

What a fantastic experience. Thank you Jonathan for a very interesting detailed chat and discussion about the different beers. Very generous tasters of a huge variety of cask and keg beers brewed here. Definitely worth the £15 per person.

Pizza and beer in a cool setting. We caught the RWC 2023 match here too. The food was tasty and reasonably priced. The beers were vast in selection, although I stuck to the green mountain which I think is better than Brewdog's Hazy Jane. I'll come back here when I visit Bakewell.

Sweet formal garden, lovingly well kept with a lovely memorial garden. Nice place to sit and enjoy a bakewell tart or two.

Credit to the gardener(s). Honestly the best garden I’ve ever been to. They even seem to have grafted some plants which is cool (the white flowers in the last photo)

A haven of beauty & peace away from hustle & bustle despite being in the town centre. Beautiful display borders of phlox in full bloom interspersed with small dark shrubs. Just as a garden should be, a reminder of public gardens from my younger years. Beautifully maintained & clearly loved. It is purely a garden to sit & reflect. No food sellers, no toilets, nothing but seating & wonderful borders full of colour.

Really lovely gardens Stopped here for a bit just looking at all the flowers

Beautiful well kept gardens. A nice place to sit and relax. A good photo opportunity.

Quaint town famous for the tarts! Nice place to have a walk. Lots of lovely historic buildings and well tended gardens where you can take 5 with a coffee.

Lovely little gardens. Best to see in spring and summer.

Lovely little walk, with lots of birds and even some trout. The path also leads out to the fields so you can look over Youlgrave.

What a lovely peaceful place. Water is so clean and invites you to paddle in shallow water.

Very quiet tranquil place of reflection

Beautiful quiet dale in the Peak District

Lovely day out

Such a difference since my last visit. Less stock. less quality and prices through the roof. Last time for me.

Lots to see here, things are out on open display or behind locked cabinets. Prices vary depending on what you are after. Staff helpful and friendly. Sadly couldn't manage the stairs to see furniture etc.. Nice little coffee shop on ground floor with limited seating, can be popular at certain times. No onsite parking as such but think you can park if collecting items.

Well priced antiques and you can get a cup of tea and a bite to eat.

Lovely antiques centre with a wide range of goods. Also has an excellent coffee shop with homemade cakes. They are doggy friendly too, which is a bonus.

Truly gobsmacked at the experience we had there. Arrived yesterday (Friday) at approx 3.40 to have a look around. As a group of 8 visiting antique centres regularly I anticipated we would find a few things and wasn't disappointed. Upon earmarking a few potential purchases downstairs some of the group got to the upstairs section at 3.50. The group were then texted by my wife at 3.55 to explain that they had just been told by hostile staff downstairs that we would have to leave as they close at 4pm and even if we wanted to buy something that we were not able to as the sale couldnt be processsed as they wouldnt be out by 4pm . The staff member lacked not only basic knowledge of customer service but on this occasion cost their dealers within the centre dearly. Some simple points would have prevented this review. Perhaps an ‘A’ frame board outside the entrance advising of an earlier than usual closing time ???? Or a courteous sign inside advising of closing time?? or even a simple hello advising as much. Indeed heaven forbid the initial interaction from them to us could have been to alert us to their impending closure and ask us to complete our purchase? As it was a Friday we could be forgiven for guessing that 5 or maybe 5.30 was a likely closing time? There was seemingly no awareness from the staff that telling customers to leave at 3.55 spontaneously is poor customer service as well as simply rude. As a business owner myself I would be appalled if my staff acted in such a way and would wish to act swiftly to ensure no such repeat. Certainly if it were my staff they would be expecting retraining or dismissal if repeated. Sadly all to often businesses don't react and then after closing down the owners scratch their heads wondering what went wrong with some still deluded that they did everything right. Please react to this even if simply out of respect to the dealers you represent , it was disgusting service, something we felt compelled to pass onto others as we left who asked about your business. I left deeply unimpressed by the customer service with my spending money not spent. The hard work of the dealers is wasted if the the reason items arent being sold is something so inexplicable simple to correct and out of their control. The single star on this occasion is an overcompliment

Had an excellent lunch today of poached eggs on toast and Earl Grey tea. Perfect. Friendly service and great value.

Although I couldn't find anything for myself, I still found this antique centre really gorgeous and well laid out. They have a nice selection of taxidermy animals which stood out particularly to me, especially the sun conure parrot. Really nice, peaceful atmosphere and not as horribly busy as the town centre!

Nice cafe in an interesting setting with good choices. BLT and cakes amazing. Downstairs and upstairs tables. Friendly staff. Interesting shop to look around and well laid out

The store is great; interesting collections from different sellers. The cafe however was a bit disappointing; the “homemade lemonade” was really a bottle of house carbonated water (barely chilled) with a side of lemon syrup, and when asked if they had any gluten free desserts, they didn’t (despite the gluten free marketing all over the menu and menu boards urging one to ‘just ask’. Overall, worthwhile to visit for the shop.

Not a wide variety of antiques, just a niche selection. I don't know how they consider this to be a large shop, its really small. The cafe is really nice and well priced but as for an antique shop it's pretty poor.

Lovely cafe and food and great stuffs plus antique... Welcome my dog collie very friendly too..

Cafe has a lovely selection of fresh food made with love. Highly recommend the French toast and homemade lemonade, it's a very fun experience. The antiques are varied and interesting to look around as well as some great value items

Wide range of antiques and other collectables plus a hidden gem of a cafe serving delicious coffee and cooked food.

Always has interesting things and not overpriced. The cafe has to be your first stop, it's great, serves the best coffee.

A plethora of sparkly wonderment and interesting knick knacks a cornucopia of interesting delights. Could have spent hours browsing and could have spent lots of money, purse strings permitting. Never been in before and glad we did as was great for a nosey. Lady running it was pleasant and we bought a lovely Blue John pendant.

Parking at the entrance and then a 10minute walk along a farm path to the mine. I think this place is open 24hrs to walk around but there are set times when there are open days and events on to show you more about the buildings and access some of them. Great for a quick stop after hours and great views all around

It’s a great place to visit if passing. It’s like a living village all intact. You can feel the history when you visit. You only need about one hour to look round Great photo opportunity. Very relaxing if it’s a sunny day take a picnic sit on the grass and relax.

Such an interesting and photogenic location. Easy to find, lay bay to park in front and then a short walk to the site. No charges. So interesting to learn about the history and great to wander around the whole site.

Limited parking on the road and a short walk to the ruins of the old mine. What you see in the photos is pretty much what you get. No cafe, no toilets and if there were exhibitions in any associated building they weren't open the day I was there. Having said that it was very atmospheric

Great place to visit, especially as it’s no cost. Nice bit of history to explore, and a bit of a diamond for sunsets too. One of my favourite places. Good walking routes pass through here too. Only downside is the small area for parking, though if people parked considerately then that would help.

Great old mine giving some good photo opportunities. Bit off the beaten track, but this means that it's quiet there. Information boards by the square chimney detailing the history of the mine, including the murders and subsequent curse. Well worth a look around.

Small parking area on the roadside for around 6 cars. Good path and 10 minutes walk to the old mine. Really interesting to walk around and feel a part of how life was. We visited on a warmer day with a strong breeze and you could see the cold air being forced out of the old shaft.

It's an amazing site on top of the world in the Peak District. A fair weather visit I'd suggest and read the history boards it has a dark tale to tell. Decent footwear needed.

Free to visit heritage site. Disused victorian lead, in use until the 1950s. Several information boards, beam engine house, capped mine shafts, replica horse winding gear, agents house, chimney. Situated a short distance from the road, parking in lay-by.

Found this spot when Zooming in on maps. Nice. Something completely different. It's also a nice stop in a hiking trail. Surprisingly, there were loads of people going there. The tips about where to park in the reviews was excellent. Easy to find. Short walk with nice views. Interesting facts about this lead mine on the premises.

Free roadside parking. Easy access. Really worth a visit.

Excellent walk to this very historic and beautiful lead mine. Very dog friendly. Don't miss the grating with the deep shaft next to the mining headstock - the drop is 700ft+ and takes about six seconds for a pebble to fall down! Bring a powerful torch (visit /r/flashlight) and look down for even more spook...

Great walk from Ashford in the Water to Magpie Mine via Deep Dale. Damp early spring weather but dry enough underfoot. This mine is a fabulous little microcosm of industrial heritage where the ruins and storyboards bring the history to life. For a quick visit park on the roadside and walk in a few hundred yards. Free and open all year round.

Lovely mine site to visit, easy to miss. Short walk from the road over level fields. Sign boards tell you about the site and lead mining in Derbyshire, interesting place to visit.

Really interesting and well kept site. You can purchase a guide book for £1 which is packed with information. Walk around the site and easily spot some of the scientifically significant plants and animals and learn about the lead mining history of the area. It's free to get into and you park on the road and walk to the site (walk takes less than 5 minutes and there are a couple of stiles to go over) Definitely recommend a visit (Photos taken by my husband!)

We ordered 1 photography 3 years ago as memories of our time spent in England where we hiked a lot in the Peak District. We received the order very quickly. Still now , the quality is stunning, the picture is so beautiful and poetic. We framed it and every time we look at it it's like we are under the rainy weather enjoying the beauty of England!

I recently bought two stunning photos of the peak district. Ordering was easy and Michael was quick respond to the order. Extremely well packaged!. Thank you Micahel and have already spotted another couple like.

I recently attended a 1 day 1:1 photographic workshop with Michael in the Peak District. From the moment I made contact, Michael was an attentive, professional and entertaining photographic host. Despite some challenging weather conditions, Michael made it fun and informative and selected some great spots to make the best of the conditions. All in all I thoroughly recommend Michael and would use him again without question

I have just returned from a 4 hour photography tuition morning with Michael and it has been an amazing experience. Michael has a vast knowledge of the subject and imparted this in a manner that was appropriate to my level of skill. He has not only improved my photography knowledge but also introduced me to some spectacular scenery in Derbyshire. His website has some good examples of the areas we visited and is well worth looking at for stunning images.

Really great morning spent with Michael on his course. Good info about what extra bits of kit make a real difference and are not too expensive. We went to three different sites so learnt about different aspects of landscape photography. By comparing the scenes we were at with his website pictures we got a real sense of what could be achieved with practise and patience. Thank you Michael this has been a great start to our landscape photography learning.

Absolutely stunning work! michael's images pull you in. I have ordered a couple of pieces of artwork from Michael via his website and he was such a pleasure to work with. One was a gift for a friend living in Texas whom I wished to surprize at Christmas time. Not only was the piece quickly shipped it arrived it perfect condition. My second piece was of his"Overexposure"." I was wanting a custom size which caused a couple wrinkles in how to best ship from the U.K. to me here in the US. Michael went above and beyond for me offering a variety of options to chose from. My image arrived in perfect order and it was more stunning in person than the image showed on his site. You can not go wrong obtaining any of his artwork. I look forward to purchasing my next scene from him!

Debbie Needham 6 October 2020 I ordered a photograph of Chatsworth House as a gift for my inlaws. Prior to ordering, Michael gave me lots of guidance of the best images to choose and which frame would look best with my final choice. I took his advice and wasn't disappointed. The framed photo arrived today and to say I am over the moon is an understatement. I am beyond excited and can't wait to give it to my inlaws for Christmas. I know they are going to be absolutely thrilled. I will be ordering at least 2 more framed photos to give as gifts, I just need to decide which ones. Hard choice because all of the photos are stunning. Once again, I shall seek Michael's advice on the most suitable frames. I can not recommend Michael highly enough, he is incredibly helpful and you won't be disappointed with his work!

Absolutely beautiful photographs and it was so difficult to choose which to order. Once we'd made our choice and made the order online Michael got in touch with us straight away and the picture was with us within 3 days. Excellent service!

Good to see the Tourist Information Centre still open when I visited Bakewell, Peak District in January 2024. This beautiful Derbyshire town needs this central hub to promote the attractions of the Dark and White Peak areas and provide travel information and advice to the visiting public.

Lovely visit to Bakewell yesterday. Worth a visit or stop off if you are passing by. Many artisan shops selling the food, teas/coffees, drinks, cakes and gift items. One of our favourites we came upon by chance was a small, tucked away sandwich shop called Relish. Soooooo worth the visit. The vegan and vegetarian sandwiches and rolls are worth the visit alone.

Great place staff were friendly and polite. However the sovenier were over priced. You may find better prices from local shops.

The town was lovely but busy, especially with large wagons passing through. We enjoyed our time down by the river and park where we ate our Bakewell tarts😁 watching the fish in the river. Had a nightmare paying for the car park as the machine kept refusing our contactless payment but had taken the money out of my account, all sorted now thankfully!!

Great place to visit set in the Peak District National Park, good variety of independent shops along the famous Bakewell Pudding Shop. Great street market every Monday, also a livestock market which is worth a visit if you have never been to one. Would recommend.

Friendly and welcoming place for all. This is the place to visit if you need any information or advice about visiting or staying in bakwell, the lady's are lovely.

Lovely place for a walk around, great bakeries, and independent shops. River has huge fish in the summer that you can feed! Beautiful old buildings and architecture too

Stopped here on our way home from a few days away beautiful village lots of shops had a lovely cuppa tea and shared a Bakewell tart it was massive in the original Bakewell pudding shop well worth a visit also the bridge that has thousands of padlocks on it

Always injoy our visits to this really lovely place

This review is for the visitors centre itself. It's the old market hall. Look up at the ceiling to see an astounding old building. Found right next to one of the main roads , this is a great central point for information. Inside you have not only souvenirs, but an array of local information. Upstairs there's an interactive map to show you places all over the Peak District worth visiting. If you're a visitor, or even a frequent tourist, this place is the best to come for help, suggestions, ideas or even a simple map. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff.

Quite quiet and nice! We had a great beer time after Chatsworth House ;)

A nice day in Bakewell, bought orchids, an unusual fruit, Avon eye shadows, and Parker pen refills. Lunch at the very pleasant" Proper Pastie shop" we always pop in and chat to the owner , we would highly recommend.

Very kind and helpful staff in a beautiful old English building. Lovely gifts and small bits to buy, plenty of hiking maps and travel guides available. Great advice given by staff. Thank you.

When to the Bakewell Christmas market. Parking is a nightmare so if you're visiting bear this in mind. Not very big but had a few enjoyable hours out with friends.

Friendly staff especially Sally. A lovely selection of products and local information. Great place to find gifts or get help. Even if you aren't buying anything it's a lovely place to have a look around.
