Derbyshire’s most famous food is the Bakewell Pudding. Accidentally created by a local cook over 150 years ago, today the recipe remains a secret but you can try proper Bakewell Pudding - which is nothing like Bakewell Tart - for yourself at the Old Original Bakewell Pudding Shop in Bakewell, where you can even make one for yourself on a special ‘pudding making experience’!
Cheese-lovers shouldn’t miss a visit to the Peak District village of Hartington, where you can buy cheese from the ‘smallest’ Stilton producer in the world at the Hartington Cheese Shop.
