1.5 miles south of Matlock, Matlock Bath was developed as one of the country's first tourist destinations and is sometimes referred to as 'the seaside town without the sea'. Known for its colorful buildings set alongside the River Derwent, it's been a popular tourist destination since the late 17th century when spa waters were discovered here. Its heyday was in Victorian, times when it became known as "Little Switzerland" by the poet, Lord Byron.

A popular destination for families, bikers, and fun seekers, there are plenty of things to do and see in Matlock Bath. There is wide a variety of accommodation available for overnight stays and with good transport links it is a popular destination for a day trip. The Matlock Bath Illuminations are a popular feature from September to the end of October when the riverside is decorated and the cliffs floodlit to create a magical scene of color. At weekends during the Illuminations, there are parades of decorated boats, entertainments, and, on certain dates, firework displays. The displays were even once admired by Princess (later Queen) Victoria!

The Riverside Gardens and Lovers Walks along Giddy Edge offer gentle strolls away from the crowds, and nearby High Tor affords spectacular views from its lofty summit.
