Matlock, set in the beautiful wooded gorge of the River Derwent, has been attracting visitors to the area since the installation of a spa there in the late 17th Century. With a selection of excellent restaurants and traditional pubs as well as attractions such as Gulliver's Kingdom and the Peak District Mining Museum, visitors will be spoiled for choice. Visitors can enjoy wonderful days out to Chatsworth House, take the cable car ride at the Heights of Abraham, enjoy a picnic by Carsington Lake or explore the lively market town of Bakewell.
