Quackers!

[Stuart Davis - Devon Cornwall & Somerset AO]

We’ve been staying in Bakewell for the last week with a relative, and today had a walk along the Monsal trail from Monsal Head to Hassop Station Cafe where we had lunch.

 

Along the way, I spotted a sign to the famous Quackers cafe, a regular haunt for the Peak District gang.  We didn’t stop there, although I checked for any Westies in the car park as we went by.

 

The views were very nice from the viaduct, the tunnel was fun and the weather kind. We saw three rather chunky looking buggies which I quite fancied a go in, and a Jag with excellent number plate in town.

 

Maybe one day I will trailer the car up here and enjoy some of the wonderful roads myself.

 

Almost forgot to mention, having been a committed Bakewell Tart man for years, we discovered the more authentic Bakewell Pudding this trip. It is dangerously delicious I can tell you!!
