sweetest thing

Being at Chatsworth and Haddon Hall, we couldn't pass up a pit stop in the tiny market town of Bakewell, Derbyshire.

Bakewell is the only town within the Peak District National Park.

Very British.

A quaint and quiet little place.

Most famous for THIS.  Real Bakewell Pudding, aka the most insanely delicious dessert I have EVER had in my life.  This is not to be confused with the mass-produced Bakewell Tart.  Bakewell Puddings are only made and sold in the town of Bakewell.  They feature a base of buttery flaky pastry, covered in a layer of strawberry jam, with an egg and almond paste custard filling on top.  Worth a trip to Bakewell just for these.
