The coach pulls out of Bakewell and the Peak’s patchwork of gritstone edges and rolling fields slides by like an old map. Wind pushes across moorland; hedgerows lean and the guide’s voice threads local stories into the hum of the road. This is a day paced by villages, not kilometers—six rural pubs, each given an hour and a reserved corner where a pre-ordered drink waits.
