In case of emergencies out of opening hours please contact the office on the usual telephone number and you will be transferred to an out of hours answering service. The duty vet will then contact you and arrange to meet from there. The Bakewell Veterinary Clinic has stood for generations at the heart of the local community. The practice developed alongside a farriery based next to an old coaching inn in Bakewell town centre. Travellers would stay overnight and any ailing horses could be tended to by the farrier or vet. In those days the horse was the main focus of veterinary work but as agriculture developed the practice soon grew and became more involved with the strong farming community of the Peak District. In fact, the real Siegfried Farnon†from the James Herriot novels started his career as a young vet in our practice many moons ago. The Peak District is a stunning place to live and work, and much of the countryside we enjoy today has been formed by generations of livestock farming. We are proud to be a product of this history and will do our best to look after the farming future of the Peak District for many years to come.
