Matlock Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Up the no-through-lane (to cars) off the corner of Dale Road just over the bridge and to the right - very steep for about 2km but quiet.

Hall Leys Park, Matlock

Highlight • Settlement

An attractive town on the edge of the Peak District National Park, Matlock has a lot going for it. It rose to prominence in the 19th century, when John Smedley developed the town as a desirable spa destination.

Today it makes for a great base for exploring the national park. There's some lovely walks to the south around Matlock Bath too, where High Tor and the Heights of Abraham boast sublime views. A host of amenities and accommodation can be found in the town, with many of its cafes, pubs, restaurants and independent shops clustered around Dale Road and Crown Square.

This magnificent ancient yew tree is reported to be 2,000 years old. Its girth is particularly impressive, measuring around 33 feet (10 m), one of the widest in the country. Stone tablets adorn the base of the tree, commemorating acts of bravery during the Second World War.
