How we grade areas

Grades are relative, comparing this area against others of the same type across the UK. Amenity grades are based on OpenStreetMap counts within a fixed radius. The Safety & Peace grade ranks recorded anti-social behaviour and public-disorder incidents (the offences most relevant to a quiet neighbourhood) — per head of population where ONS figures are available, otherwise by count. Scottish towns are graded against other Scottish towns, from Police Scotland’s 12-month figures for the council wards they sit in, per head of those wards’ population (National Records of Scotland). Figures are estimates to aid research, not a substitute for visiting an area.

Is Bakewell a good retirement location?

Read our guide to living in Bakewell

Bakewell is a retirement-minded area with above-average numbers of older residents, solid everyday services, and plenty of green space. It suits people who want a quieter market-town setting with decent local facilities and don't rely on frequent rail travel. The relatively high crime rate and moderate choice of care homes are honest trade-offs worth considering.

Health & support

  • Medical access: GP surgeries and pharmacies are locally available; the nearest major hospital is within reach by car or planned transport.
  • Safety: Recorded crime stood at 272 offences in 2026–04, with violent crime and anti-social behaviour among the most common categories — notably higher than many quieter retirement areas.
  • Family & connection: Think carefully about where your family and support network live, and how often you'd realistically see them.

Finances & daily life

  • Cost of care: Care-home fees vary locally; check current rates against the national average to judge affordability for your circumstances.
  • Transport: The area is served by local bus routes; trains to nearby cities are available but not within walking distance of the town centre. You may need a car or be happy relying on buses.
  • Housing options: A range of care homes operate locally; visit and compare to find one that fits your needs and budget.

Lifestyle & environment

  • Green space & hobbies: Bakewell has 33 parks and 19 allotments, offering good scope for walking and outdoor activity. The town centre hosts 38 restaurants and cafes and 28 pubs and bars, supporting an active social life.
  • Community: Look into local groups, clubs and memory-cafe provision when you visit — these strengthen day-to-day connection.
  • Climate: The East Midlands typically sees cool winters and mild summers; prepare for regular rain and occasional frost.

Things to weigh up

  • Crime rate: At 272 recorded offences, Bakewell's crime level is notably higher than many comparable retirement towns; visit at different times and speak to current residents about feeling safe day-to-day.
  • Care-home choice: The local care sector offers several homes, but choice is moderate — start visits early to secure a place that suits you.
