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.
