This trip has been and gone, but don't worry, we've got lots more Great Days Out to choose from.

Find your way to Crown Square in Matlock for a great choice of independent shops, cafés and pubs. Award-winning Hall Leys Park is well worth a wander, surrounded by towering green trees with Riber Castle as your backdrop. Later, we’ll head down river to Matlock Bath (pictured), a traditional thermal spa town that's enclosed by cliffs and full of charm. There are a number of riverside gardens, including Derwent Gardens where several thermal springs meet the river. Over the river from Derwent Gardens you’ll find ‘Lovers’ Walks’, where a series of footpaths wind their way through ancient woodland.

If you are feeling adventurous there’s a 2.4 mile walk (roughly 90 minutes) from Matlock to Matlock Bath, via High Tor with clifftop views, but please investigate the route, bring suitable clothing and let your driver know your plans.

We’re due to arrive in Matlock at 12:00 with a short stop at Notcutts Nottingham enroute. We’ll depart Matlock at 15:15 for the 15 minute journey to Matlock Bath and head home at 17:00. We’ll set down at the Railway Station in Matlock and at Station Yard in Matlock Bath.
