Bakewell Visitor Centre is fully accessible and ideally placed to welcome you to Bakewell and the 'White Peak' when you arrive. The centre is located in the atmospheric 17th century Old Market Hall. The centre was recently refurbished in November 2020 to provide an improved open retail and easy access space.
