I visited Matlock bath this week and although I only spent a few hours there although travelling 2 to get there, I think it was well worth it. So Matlock bath is located in Derbyshire and nearby places are Matlock, Derby and Bakewell which are also all worth visiting.

You arrive at Matlock bath and you immediately see a river on one side which you can walk along and all of the small unique shops the other side. So let's discuss shopping first. Matlock bath has sewing shops, souvenir shops and Antique shops on the main street. It won't take you long to walk down it maybe a couple of hours if you visit everything. 2 minutes away ou have Masson Mills which is like a huge Edinburgh woollen mill when you walk in. This is where we visited and it has crafts, models and all sorts there plus a huge cafe so is worth a visit.

Let's do eating now. We had fish and chips of which as to be expected from a tourist hotspot there are a few to choose from. There are a lot of places I saw to eat but we didn't go in any of them. The rib place looked lovely though.

Then we have attractions round Matlock bath which are Masson mills which is good. Also the heights of Abraham where you go in cable cars which looked amazing but due to the weather we did not visit. We did however go to the farm which housed lots of animals for my Lottie to see. She particularly loved the goats. I also saw the signs for Gullivers Kingdom which I haven't been to for years but is an amazing theme park.

In short Matlock bath is great and we loved our day out even in the rain. It is located on the A6 in Derbyshire and I found it without a satnav so I'm sure you will be able to.

Go and enjoy.
