Matlock Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Up the no-through-lane (to cars) off the corner of Dale Road just over the bridge and to the right - very steep for about 2km but quiet.

An attractive town on the edge of the Peak District National Park, Matlock has a lot going for it. It rose to prominence in the 19th century, when John Smedley developed the town as a desirable spa destination.

Today it makes for a great base for exploring the national park. There's some lovely walks to the south around Matlock Bath too, where High Tor and the Heights of Abraham boast sublime views. A host of amenities and accommodation can be found in the town, with many of its cafes, pubs, restaurants and independent shops clustered around Dale Road and Crown Square.

Derwent Gardens

Highlight • River

Derwent Gardens is a formal park located on the southern side of the Pavilion in Matlock Bath, overlooking the River Derwent.

The distinctive emphasis of the gardens is water. Several thermal springs emerge in the park creating the water gardens. Grottos and alcoves also provide unique features within the beautiful gardens.

Found across a river bridge opened in 1969, the Lovers' Walks are a series of footpaths along the riverside and up and over the spectacular cliffs.

Facilities include a bandstand, playarea, picnic area and rowing boats.

Matlock Bath

Highlight • Gorge

Lovely colorful cafe in Matlock Bath on the edge of the Peak District. Perfect for all kinds of cyclists and walkers. There is plenty of space outside to leave bikes in sight from anywhere in the cafe. Inside there is plenty of seating and some fun quirky decor. The food and drink are great! All plant-based with some good gluten-free options. The serving sizes are decent for the reasonable prices. Would highly recommend the cake, sundaes and full English. The coffees come in a cafeteria which means there are two cups each for the price of one. The hot drinks are also served with a biscuit from the biscuit barrel, featuring bourbons, party rings and Oreos.
Overall a great stop!
