Matlock Bath is a delightfully picturesque area of the Derwent Valley with steep sided wooded hills, rocky crags and pretty houses following the river. Extensively visited in Victorian times, when the area gained the name ‘Little Switzerland’, by people coming to take the waters which are rich in mineral deposits and issue from underground springs at a constant temperature. The area offers fine walks and views and good local amenities. Situated at the edge of the Peak District on the A6 trunk road, there is easy access to Manchester, Derby, and Nottingham, and the nearby towns of Chesterfield, Wirksworth, and Bakewell.
