A Beautiful Day In Matlock Bath, Peak District | 4K WALK

It has been attracting visitors since the late 17th Century, and by the 19th Century it was a place for the finest in society to be seen, including royalty. Lord Byron dubbed it ‘Little Switzerland’ on account of its magnificent views and steep, wooded hillsides. Matlock Bath is just as much fun to visit today. It has a long high street lined with quirky shops, cafés, amusement arcades and visitor attractions, as well as peaceful paths for shady strolls alongside the River Derwent.

The Matlock Bath Illuminations are a popular feature from September to the end of October, when the riverside is decorated and the cliffs floodlit to create a magical scene of colour. At weekends during the Illuminations there are parades of decorated boats, entertainments and, on certain dates, firework displays.

Peak district is lovely. Matlock, Derwent Reservoirs and Ladybower reservoir are nice places to visit but the three Shires Head has a stunning drive and walk to the waterfall so my favorite. It's an excellent day out for kids as well
