A Bakewell Dog Walk
If you are visiting Bakewell with your dog, then this might be the perfect leisurely dog walk in Bakewell. It’s a fairly flat walk, and incorporates some road walking, some woodland tracks and a stroll across a meadow. It’s probably not advised if there has been a bout of heavy rain, as the fields can get rather water logged.
Walk Information
Time taken: Allow an hour
Distance: approx 2 miles
You can park in Bakewell town centre and start the walk from there, so you have plenty of options on your return for some four legged friendly refreshments.
Directions for dog walk
1. Starting from the Agricultural centre, walk towards Coombs Road. With the show ground office behind you, walk down the road, with the cafe on your left and the showground on your right. Continue along the road until you reach a gate.
2. Pass through the gate and turn right onto Coomb Road. Walk along this very quiet lane until you get to the end where the Monsal Trail starts on your left hand side. On your right you will notice a wide track and bridleway sign.
3. Turn right and walk along the bridleway until you reach a gate on your right hand side. You cannot continue ahead, as it is a private road.
4. Pass through the gate and walk down through the field to the bottom sign post. You then turn right and pass through another gate.
5. Now continue across several fields in a straight line, heading back towards the agricultural centre. You will negotiate a rather strange brook (see below). You can either walk across the plank, or bear to the left of the bush and walk through the more convenient gap in the hedge.
6. Continue towards the agricultural centre, keeping the road to the agricultural centre on your left and Coomb Road on your right. At the very end of the last field, there is a gate in the left corner of the field, which you can pass through, and you will find yourself back at the show ground office building, where you first started.
Once you have finished your walk, you can proceed back into Bakewell town centre, where you will find lots of dog friendly shops, pubs and cafes.
