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!
