Location description
Matlock's growth was rapid during the Victorian period and it became a fashionable resort in conjunction with nearby Matlock Bath, helped by a road cut through the crags at Cromford. The town owes much of its status to John Smedley, who built Riber Castle, the mock medieval castle overlooking the town, as well as the impressive Smedley's Hydro, now headquarters of the County Council.The newly renovated parks alongside the River Derwent are ideal for families with boating, play areas and a skateboarding park, all linked with easy walking paths. The town is also home to Peak Rail, where at weekends you can ride on one of the many regular steam trains or even enjoy a footplate experience and drive the train yourself.
