Location:

This high turnover filling station and Londis branded store is located on the main through road of the picturesque and affluent Derbyshire town of Bakewell. Bakewell is a small market town in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire. It is the only town included in the Peak District National Park. It is located on the River Wye, approximately 13 miles (21 km) Southwest of Sheffield, 31 miles (50 km) Southeast of Manchester, and 30 miles (48 km) North of the county town of Derby. The town is close to the tourist attractions of Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall. Bakewell attracts many domestic and international tourists. Monday is a particularly popular day for visitors as this is the day that the traditional market is held in the town. The cattle market is housed in a new purpose built agricultural centre, across the river from the main part of the town. A medium sized stall market is held in the town centre. There is a picturesque public park alongside the River Wye, which has its source in nearby Buxton.
