SPRING:
Bathed in the light and energy of Spring, Bakewell and the surrounding landscape
come alive with blossom, bird song and new life. A powerful time of year, as days
grow longer and the cycle of growth and renewal is positively tangible.
The Spring tree trail takes you to surprising parts of the town - look out
for street names - they tell you much of the origins, history and spirit of Bakewell...

SUMMER:
As Bakewell evolves these leafy companions quietly continue to brighten our
passageways, line our streets, sustain Bakewell's wildlife and enhance our landscape.
The map is a suggested route with a selection of summer characters but, you're
bound to meet many more elsewhere in the town. Feel free to greet these long standing
residents of Bakewell by joining the trail wherever you like, there is no start
or finish point...

AUTUMN:
At this time of year Bakewell and the surrounding landscape come alive with
vivid colour as the local trees change to Autumn livery. All the corners of the
town are bathed in colour, as alleys, footpaths and roadways gather the rich crop
of leaves.
The Autumn trail takes you round some of the tree characters in the town centre,
then onto the edge of town so that you can look back and enjoy the colourful setting
of Bakewell in the bright Autumn landscape...

WINTER:
At this time of year Bakewell and its landscape colour co-ordinates in soft
sandy browns and greens as tree trunks and canopies and local building stone merge
in the muted shades of Winter. The twining of tree roots, patterns of wet leaves,
bark textures and the nooks and crannies of stone walls create interesting sculptural
effects!
This season's tree trail takes you to some of the hidden corners of Bakewell,
through the woodland that weaves into the fabric of the town returning to the
sparkling runnings of the river.
