Matlock is a former spa town established along the banks of the River Derwent. While in town, make your way to Hall Leys Park for a wonderful walk around the river, and you can also go on boat rides here. If you are in town with children, you should take a cable car ride up to the Heights of Abraham, where you can explore caverns, have a blast at the adventure playgrounds, and discover butterflies on the trail. Another fun activity is a trip to Matlock Meadows, a working farm where the entire family can enjoy award-winning ice cream.
