  Matlock Bath Cable Cars
by nhcram
 
 

There is a cable car up to the Heights, starting from just upstream of the railway station.
The Heights of Abraham is a tourist centre placed high above Matlock Bath and opposite High Tor. It rises 450 feet above Matlock Bath and the views of the surrounding area are beautiful. There are various attractions including two show caves and hands on things for children to do once you reach the top. There is also an exhibition of the building of the cable cars, which, is very interesting. I suggest you need a couple of hours to take it all in.

Address: Centre of Matclock Bath
Directions: The cable car goes from the far end of the railway station.
