INTRODUCTION: HOW THE PERAMBULATION IS ORGANISED
Nikolaus Pevsner, in his guide to Derbyshire, uses a walk through the towns, with descriptions along the way. He calls this "a Perambulation". I am borrowing this style.
The walk starts on the East side of the River Wye, at the North end of the town, moves south, staying on this bank, before retracing one's steps and crossing one of the fine bridges into the older part of Bakewell.
