The Peak District town of Matlock, together with its neighbour, Matlock Bath, offers a range of shops, pubs and restaurants. Views down the gorge can be enjoyed from the cable car which takes visitors up to the Heights of Abraham – an excellent place for all the family with its showcaves, nature trail, water gardens and Owl Maze. South of the town is the start of the High Peak Cycle Trail, whilst a short drive away is the National Tramway Museum at Crich.
