MATLOCK & MATLOCK BATH - PEAK DISTRICT

Approx one mile apart stand the town of Matlock and the village of Matlock Bath. They stand on the A6 road which passes down a narrow spectacular limestone gorge under the cable car serving the Heights of Abraham.

Matlock is home to the County Council offices. It is a more formal place than it's touristy companion down the road, but is still a charming place to base a stay in the Peak District. In late summer, Matlock Bath Gardens have their illuminations - a charming walk through the gardens alongside the River Derwent.
