‘The seaside town without the sea’ 🌊🏠

Nestled in the Derbyshire Dales, on the banks of the River Derwent, Matlock Bath was one of the country’s first tourist destinations and visitors flocked for miles in the Victorian era to sample its healing spa waters 💦

Today Matlock Bath is famous for its fish and chip shops 🍟, amusement arcades 🎲, small theme park at Gulliver's Kingdom, and cable car rides leading to a cliff top country park at The Heights of Abraham 🚠
