Matlock Bath

Matlock Bath was developed as one of the country’s first tourist destinations. It retains much of the character and interest that impressed early visitors. 1.5 miles south of the town of Matlock, on the busy A6, Matlock Bath is set in the beautiful gorge of the River Derwent, with attractive riverside gardens, wooded hillsides and rocky limestone crags.

A popular tourist destination since the late 17th Century when the spa waters were discovered, its’ heyday was in Victorian, times when it became known as “Little Switzerland”.

A popular destination for families, bikers and fun seekers, there are plenty of things to do and see. There is wide a variety of accommodation available for overnight stays and with good transport links it is a popular destination for a day trip.

The Matlock Bath Illuminations and Venetian Nights are a popular feature from late August to the end of October, when the riverside is decorated and the cliffs floodlit to create a magical scene of colour.

At weekends there are parades of decorated boats, entertainments and, on certain dates, firework displays.
