Matlock Bath is worth a visit with its famous attractions ’Heights of Abraham’ and ’Gullivers Kingdom’. The iconic town of Bakewell is home to the famous Bakewell Pudding. Chatsworth House (the Palace in the Peak) is only a 20-minute drive away. After something more adventurous, then why not visit Carsington for kayaking, paddle boarding, canoeing, sailing, cycling, or walking?
