Find your way to Crown Square in Matlock for a great choice of independent shops, cafés and pubs. Award-winning Hall Leys Park is well worth a wander, surrounded by towering green trees and full of summer colour, with Riber Castle as your backdrop. Later, we’ll head down river to Matlock Bath (pictured), enclosed by cliffs and full of charm. There are a number of riverside gardens, including Derwent Gardens where several thermal springs meet the river. Over the river from Derwent Gardens you’ll find ‘Lovers’ Walks’, where a series of footpaths wind their way through ancient woodland. Start planning your day with Visit Peak District.

If you are feeling adventurous there’s a 2.4 mile walk (roughly 90 minutes) from Matlock to Matlock Bath, via High Tor with clifftop views, but please investigate the route, bring suitable clothing and let your driver know your plans.
