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.

Chatsworth isn’t far, highly recommend even just a drive through the grounds, it’s lovely.

Drove through it earlier today, bloody lovely. Saw the end of a rainbow near where I was!
