Welcome spring with a trip into the rolling hills of Derbyshire! Join us for a classic Monday out, combining the bustling atmosphere of famous Bakewell with Matlock’s scenic riverside charm.

We head first to Bakewell on its traditional market day, where stallholders have gathered for centuries. Browse dozens of colourful stalls packed with local produce, crafts, and artisan goods. After hunting for a bargain, take a gentle stroll along the River Wye or visit a traditional bakery to sample a real Bakewell Pudding – the original jam-and-almond recipe leaves supermarket imitations in the shade!

In the afternoon, we take a short, scenic drive through the Derwent Valley to Matlock, famous for its grand Victorian spa heritage and dramatic limestone crags. Whether you fancy a cream tea, independent shopping, or sitting by the river enjoying the fresh Peak District air, it’s a delightfully relaxing day out. Best of all, leave the winding Derbyshire roads and parking to our expert driver!
