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.
