If you visit Matlock Bath or drive through it try to avoid Sundays as its incredibly busy with tourists and bikers! Although the town has no beach its very reminiscent of being beside the seaside . There is a train which runs hourly from Belper.

Great walk along the river to Milldale but remember to take some cash if you’d like an ice cream or to buy a snack at the shop. They don’t take cards! It’s a 3 mile walk back to the car park!

Walk into the town from Chevin Loft. Have lunch at Nourish, visit Derwent Antiques - four floors of great treasures! See if you can spot the peregrine falcons nesting in the top of the East Mill. There are some quirky shops in the main street (King St) and Sweetings is a super shop full of furniture, lamps and gifts. Brunch at Fresh Basil is delicious.

A village with a fascinating history. In 1665 the plague arrived in a bale of cloth from London. The villagers decided to quarantine themselves to prevent further spread of the disease and 260 died.
