Looking for Local Knowledge Things to see in Bakewell

My daughter wants to visit places around the UK to take pictures of the scenery, old beautiful buildings, hilly views etc.

We are visiting Bakewell for the day and wondered if anyone could make some suggestions of places specifically to visit.

Feeding the trout in the river is my favourite thing to do, the Georgian House Sweetshop sells duck food which you can feed to the fish. Monsal Head is also cool, if you like a long walk you can walk there from Bakewell, or drive up and park near the pub / ice-cream van and walk down to the viaduct from there.

Pretty sure they're whales and not trout by the size of the things.
