"Matlock, Prince of Derbyshire" Matlock by stevezero

Matlock Travel Guide: 45 reviews and 278 photos

If you live within 100kms of the town I bet you have visited. Even if you live further afield, I no doubt you have heard of it. On my travels when I try to explain where I live and no one as heard of it, I usually drop in the line "just up the road from Matlock" and suddenly the light goes on.

We've all been there....

Matlock is the administrative town of Derbyshire, and is a gateway to the Peak District National Park. The town and also its co-joined Matlock Bath, long since popular as a spa town, are also a big draw in their own right and as such can get extremely busy, especially on a Sunday afternoon, and even more so if it is sunny!

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Attractive river setting, beautiful valley
  • Cons:Gets busy
  • In a nutshell:Join the rest of the throng
