Sheepwash Bridge, Ashford in the Water

Highlight • Monument

Ashford in the Water's Medieval Sheepwash Bridge is a wonderfully historic and beautiful structure. It was built on the site of the ford across the river.

In the 17th century, it was crossed each week by hundreds of pack horses. It has been widened at least twice and takes its name from the attached sheep pen. Sheep were driven into it before being thrown into the river and washed prior to shearing. The bridge is no longer open to traffic and is a favourite spot where visitors can either feed the ducks, or gaze down into the clear waters to see if they can spot a rainbow trout.

Bakewell Bridge

Highlight • Monument

Bakewell Bridge is a beautiful structure that crosses the River Wye. The Grade I-listed five-arched bridge was constructed in the 13th century. Close to the bridge is prime duck-feeding territory. The nearby meadows and parks are lovely places to relax.

In early July every year, as part of the town’s carnival celebrations, people flock to the bridge to watch contestants in the raft race; whereby people sail down the Wye in makeshift rafts. Invariably, the event involves much sinking and swimming.

The Old Original Bakewell Pudding Shop

Highlight • Cafe

The Bakewell Pudding – not to be confused with the Bakewell Tart, with a cherry on top – consists of a flaky pastry base with a layer of sieved jam and topped with a filling made of egg and almond paste. While the origins of the pudding are not clear, it’s believed to have been made by accident in 1860 by a lady called Mrs Greaves, who was the landlady of the White Horse Inn. The Old Original Bakewell Pudding Shop lays claim to the 'original' pudding, which it has created using a secret recipe since 1889.
