Advantages: A Good Day Out - With Added Chips!

Disadvantages: Can Get Very Crowded!

Matlock Bath - A Great Day Out All Year Round!

Where Is It? - Follow the A6 to the north of Belper and you can't miss it! Sat Nav worshippers should type in DE4 3NR to head straight for the heart of the town.

Where can I Park? - Depends on what you're travelling on! Bikers park along the main strip (A6) on the weekends, making it tricky for car drivers to park up. However, if you head north out of town there is ample parking along the A6 or by the train station.

What is There to See/Do?- As other reviewers have pointed out, there are many attractions in Matlock Bath (Heights of Abraham etc.), but most just seem to go and wander up & down the main road, eating an ice cream or a tray of chips!

A lot of people describe this as an 'inland seaside resort' - mainly because of the nice scenery, abundance of chip shops & arcades, and the crowds which get drawn there most weekends!

For a more peaceful stroll, you can pop over the other side of the road and take one of the many bridges over the River for a quiet stroll along the leafy paths.

It is a great day out for all ages and there is something for everyone, from the arts & craft shops to the amusement arcades, chippies and biker shops!

Summary: Bored? Get Down to Matlock Bath!
