- GiddyEdge Hiking in Matlock Derbyshire. We stay at Packhorse Farm which is nicely situated for a walk to Lumsdale Falls, beautiful ruins of a historic industrial mills. We walk on the famous GiddyEdge at Matlock, a slightly hidden away exposed route around the cliff with a 150ft sheer drop off. We visit Matlock Bath Aquarium which was previously a historic Spa. Later that evening we go to see the Matlock Illuminations.
Our walk was superb, interesting the whole way around -and we did it mostly in the rain! details of the route can be found here:

My stomping ground that, I was born and raised just up the road... I was involved in the renovation of the Lumsdale dam and walkways through the old mill ruins, and the Arkwright Mills in Cromford in the early 80s. I've walked every inch of the area and been in every shop. it's certainly a magical place. I'm glad you enjoyed the area and I was smiling all the way through the video.
Glad you liked the video and it was great to hear your story of working on the renovations. Its such a beautiful area😀 Cheers...Andy&Michelle
I love that Michelle always greets the camera as though it were an old friend.
Fancy McDancy Ohh what a lovely comment thank you so much! So good of you to say..
Appreciate it!! 👍🏼🤩😃
Matlock is our favourite place in the country. So glad this came up on our suggested. Love Lumsdale too 👍🏻that edge is crazy! Wow Andy you are sooo cheeky to Michelle comparing her to the fish, poor girl.
I grew up near Matlock, it was my inland seaside😀 Let me know the next time you are in Matlock and if we are free I'll take you round the edge, its perfectly safe...Andy&Michelle
You've made a brilliant video 👍
I grew up in matlock 😀
There's no where like it😎
I (Andy) grew up near Matlock too, totally agree, no where like it😀👍 Cheers
My ancestor Thomas Flint emigrated from Matlock to Boston in 1635. I noticed a Flint Lane on Google Maps. Very beautiful place!

You've gone a very long way back on your family tree! Must have been quite some journey back then 😀 Matlock ❤️ cheers...Andy&Michelle
Beautiful, my favorite place.
Vee Elder we love it there too, so many beautiful sights, thanks for watching and your comment 😀
Coffee shops gone now. I live in Matlock and that's quite the trek, I know how steep, and long, the hills are.
Hi, yes we visited again at the weekend and noticed the coffee shop all closed up. Such a shame 😕... they did great cakes and lovely staff.
We always enjoy Matlock...certainly plenty of steep climbs like you say 👍😉🥾😃Michelle and Andy
Superb Vlog. I don’t think I could manage the hike on those ledges. Thanks for sharing. 😄👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed, the ledges were nice and I would encourage you to have a go if in Matlock, the path is at least 2ft wide all the way round with a hand rail at the key point :)
I have done a few photo shoots at Lumsdale Falls. Beautiful location. Not been to Giddy Edge yet though.
Giddy Edge would make a good location for a photoshoot, watch your step though!!! 😀
@@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures yes I saw that 😂
Years ago Giddy Edge was much more open and longer before the trees got bigger.
Would have liked to experience that, it must have felt much more exposed👍
Suppose you'll know this, but Cromford mill is were the industrial revolution started.
No, we didn't actually know that, interesting. We love this area, so much history and things to see and do 😀 There's actually another video from Matlock Bath in the pipeline coming up in December after our latest set of Germany videos are done. Cheers...Andy&Michelle
Thank you so much for your really helpful video. We are foing to Matlock this weekend. Do you think Giddy edge is Ok though? Loved the way your lady was dancing behind you...😂. Cheers
Thanks for the comment 😀 Giddy Edge...The path is wide enough and theres a hand rail, the feeling of exposure only lasts for about 10 seconds as you walk around, you just need to watch your feet and stop walking if you want to have a look around, its ok but if you have a serious problem with vertigo I would give it a miss. If you watch our more recent video from Matlock where we go down a cave it also shows us walking in a crag on high tor, after we've been caving, this is easy and also a very good experience, its beautiful in there (need to hop over the fence - but plenty do) Enjoy Matlock Bath, its a wonderful town with amazing scenery 😀 Cheers...Andy&Michelle
we live at matlock we have been to heights at abraham lots
You live in a great place, so many lovely places to see around there 😀 Cheers...Andy&Michelle
@@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures Thank You
Definitely can't beat Matlock really. Packhorse Farm is a great site too. Make sure you stop by the mining museum next time to see the Wills Founder water pressure engine 👍
Will take a look at the museum next time, Have you done the Giddy Edge?
@@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures I don't think I've been along Giddy Edge, at least not recently. The mine is pretty easy to find. Could arrange a meet up there if you like 🙂
@@ttxela sure a meet up would be fun next time you are in Matlock. I read on the web access to some caves needs permission
@@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures varies from site to site but there is more open access in the Peak than elsewhere. Of course always better to go in a group with someone with a bit of experience than alone 🙂
@@ttxela very true, i won't be exploring any caves on my own. When you next go venturing down caves in the Peaks let me know and I'll see if I'm around :)
