Matlock Bath is a small village that is said to be the seaside without the beach or sea! It's situated right next door to the town of Matlock Derbyshire England in the Peak District National Park.
We took our cameras for a wander along the 'seafront' type streets of Matlock Bath for a look around and to see what's there! We loved it although there were maybe a few too many fish and chip shops!!
Matlock Bath was the first ever deliberately created tourist attraction village in the UK after thermal spring and spa waters were discovered here. The Victorians absolutely loved spa water and thermal springs and so flocked to this little village in the Derbyshire Dales for breaks and holidays and to relax in the English countryside.
Sometimes (incorrectly) referred to as Matlock Baths, this place offers a lovely day out as you can wander the little shops and pubs as well as take a lovely boat ride along the River Derwent (see our video of Derwent Gardens on our channel!)
There are attractive gardens, wooded hillsides, and limestone crags to explore as well as the main tourist attraction here the Heights Of Abraham Cable Car Ride which takes you right up to the top of the cliffs for some breathtaking views of the beautiful scenery here!
Lord Byron once called Matlock Bath 'Little Switzerland' and the term stuck for a while with tourists and visitors
Another popular tourist attraction is the Matlock Bath Illuminations which happen here annually where the whole riverside is lit up by beautiful coloured lights
Motorcyclists and bikers also come to Matlock Bath in their droves and it really is a sight to see when the bikes come to town and the whole village is packed with Motor bikers and their friends! The whole street gets absolutely soaked in motorbikes and bike culture with the most amazing Motorbikes parked up and down the whole street!
Things to do in Matlock and Matlock Bath;

Met my wife at the pavilion in Matlock Bath 54 years ago . Good memories.
What a great video - I like your captions explaining the shops, restaurants, etc.
Thank you for giving the viewer time to read the plaque.
Many happy memories of Matlock Bath back in the early '80's touring on my motorcycle. Many thanks!
i usually go Buxton or Bakewell but having watched this video I will be giving it a visit. thanks,
Thank you so much my friend for these videos. We are pensioners and my wife is disabled so it is brilliant to see some getaway stuff.
Matlock Bath is great if you're a day tripper but for the locals it's a bit harsh when you have to jump on a bus to adjacent Matlock for a pint of milk and a decent loaf . Thanks for watching , ta me duck.
Brilliant place, there was hundreds of bikers there last time we went, was great to look at all the nice bikes 👍
Excellent video.
I loved visiting Matlock, and you're right it's like going to the seaside without the sea! It was very cool to see dozens and dozens of bikers riding down the road or parked near a pub. The one thing I never had enough guts to do is to ride the cable cars there. I bet it's lovely perched high above the lovely village. Thanks again for reminding this American some great times in your beautiful country! :)
From chesterfield to Matlock bath and a wonderful day out eating at my favorite fish 🐟🐠 and Chip shop . Thanks 👍😊 for the memories 🙂🙂 .
Love it when it's places that I know! Nice work guys 👌🏻
beautiful Matlock bath, been there 6 or 7 times, nostalgic. Miss UK
I'm 61 now, and that deep sea diver has been in the window of the aquarium centre for as long as I can remember.
I live in Derby not far from Matlock ,, really enjoy watching your video lost count of how many chip shops there were 🤣 it is a beautiful place and well worth a visit .
Been there a few times when I had my motorbike absolutely loved it
Matlock Bath is fantastic, we visited this lovely place, while we stayed in Matlock.. Was busy when we walked round... Highly recommend, Matlock Bath hotel, we popped in their for lunch, they have an open air swimming pool, they told us the history,the pool has a spring water goes in continuous, not the same water. You was spot on what you did for us.Thank you...
