Matlock Bath is a small village that is said to be the seaside without the beach or sea! It's situated right next door to the town of Matlock Derbyshire England in the Peak District National Park.
We took our cameras for a wander along the 'seafront' type streets of Matlock Bath for a look around and to see what's there! We loved it although there were maybe a few too many fish and chip shops!!
Matlock Bath was the first ever deliberately created tourist attraction village in the UK after thermal spring and spa waters were discovered here. The Victorians absolutely loved spa water and thermal springs and so flocked to this little village in the Derbyshire Dales for breaks and holidays and to relax in the English countryside.
Sometimes (incorrectly) referred to as Matlock Baths, this place offers a lovely day out as you can wander the little shops and pubs as well as take a lovely boat ride along the River Derwent (see our video of Derwent Gardens on our channel!)
There are attractive gardens, wooded hillsides, and limestone crags to explore as well as the main tourist attraction here the Heights Of Abraham Cable Car Ride which takes you right up to the top of the cliffs for some breathtaking views of the beautiful scenery here!
Lord Byron once called Matlock Bath 'Little Switzerland' and the term stuck for a while with tourists and visitors
Another popular tourist attraction is the Matlock Bath Illuminations which happen here annually where the whole riverside is lit up by beautiful coloured lights
Motorcyclists and bikers also come to Matlock Bath in their droves and it really is a sight to see when the bikes come to town and the whole village is packed with Motor bikers and their friends! The whole street gets absolutely soaked in motorbikes and bike culture with the most amazing Motorbikes parked up and down the whole street!
Things to do in Matlock and Matlock Bath;
As well as the cable car ride that takes you up to The Heights of Abraham and the Victoria Prospect Tower you could also visit The Great Rutland and Masson Caverns which are former lead mines that have been adapted as show caves.
The Grand Pavilion on South Parade is home to the Peak District Mining Museum.
For youngsters and families, the nearby theme park of Gulliver's offers hours of fun
There is also an aquarium in Matlock Bath and a photographic museum in the village.
The Riverside Gardens and Lovers Walks offer a lovely peaceful stroll away from the crowds, and the nearby High Tor affords amazing views from its lofty summit.
The Derwent Valley Heritage Trail runs through the village of Matlock Bath.
Half a mile south of the Matlock Bath is the shopping centre and working textile museum at Masson Mills.

[@irenelucas5240]

What a great video - I like your captions explaining the shops, restaurants, etc. You are right - Matlock Bath is like a seaside town with the many Fish and Chips eateries. 👍🙂

[@GimbalWalkTV]

So so many fish and chips! 🤣🤣

[@LewisParry16]

Brilliant place, there was hundreds of bikers there last time we went, was great to look at all the nice bikes 👍

[@C64Queeg500]

Thank you so much my friend for these videos. We are pensioners and my wife is disabled so it is brilliant to see some getaway stuff.

Thank you Ian that’s kind of you to say Thank you so much for watching my videos it really does mean a lot to me ❤️❤️ Say hello to your wife from me and thank her for watching 👍👍

[@peterbartlett4082]

Many happy memories of Matlock Bath back in the early '80's touring on my motorcycle. Many thanks!

[@terrycoles9079]

Excellent video. I watch many of your videos and really enjoy them. I think your videos will help many people who are unable to travel around as they once did get the pleasure of bringing the outdoors into their homes. Thank you.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Thank you Terry - hope you are safe and well my friend ❤️❤️

[@bloodandbracessir4102]

Matlock Bath is great if you're a day tripper but for the locals it's a bit harsh when you have to jump on a bus to adjacent Matlock for a pint of milk and a decent loaf . Thanks for watching , ta me duck.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Thank you

[@dehewitt341]

I loved visiting Matlock, and you're right it's like going to the seaside without the sea! It was very cool to see dozens and dozens of bikers riding down the road or parked near a pub. The one thing I never had enough guts to do is to ride the cable cars there. I bet it's lovely perched high above the lovely village. Thanks again for reminding this American some great times in your beautiful country! :)

[@GimbalWalkTV]

You’re welcome - was fun to film this one!

[@deborahcolebourne5828]

[@GimbalWalkTV]

So so many chip shops!! 🤣🤣

[@Bullseyearchery]

I'm 61 now, and that deep sea diver has been in the window of the aquarium centre for as long as I can remember.

[@nataliesmith303]

I swear you carry the sun in your pocket!! This was a place I went to with my parents as a kid. I certainly don’t remember that many fish and chip shops 🤣 I hope you treated yourself 🥰 The last time I went a few years ago, we had lunch in the midland pub and it was delicious. Did you go on the cable card? You must go back in November for the lights and do a night video for us to watch. PLEASE🥰I was planning on going here next week, you talked me into it. Drop the sunshine off at S5 for me to borrow. Lovely video, keep on walking 😀

[@WhitMcMo]

Came looking for a walking tour of Matlock Bath because its the home town of my Great Granddad, who I never met, and know very little about. Its interesting that he settled in a town very similar here in rhe US. And i was shocked and delighted to see a Pagan community out and proud in the town! Thank you so much for making this video. It's helped me feel close to family.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Thank you that’s lovely

[@richardingram2374]

Great video as always. Looks like a lovely place completely let down by the constant traffic and the traffic noise. Is it always like that I wonder?

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Good question It’s a very busy road that’s for sure

[@christinedavison7604]

So love this video of Matlock Bath. Been going to visit for decades, since I was a child. First went there with my Mum and Dad, then with my late husband. Used to be a biker and was great to be there on Sundays and mix with the bikers. Pity you didn't take us around the gardens being that it was a lovely sunny day, maybe next time. Thanks so much for bringing back such beautiful memories for me. ♥️🌹♥️

[@ligeatkwong-jedrzejczak1499]

Very nice. Never been to Matlock Bath. Have you done videos on Eastbourne, Hastings, Brighton and Lake District? Thanks for the video. Cheers.

[@johnbuyers8095]

The Balti is also very good, just remember to book if you are there at a weekend

[@caroledumbleton4448]

That was brilliant, not been there since the 80’s and really need to go back ❤️

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Thanks Carole - lovely place I really enjoyed filming this one!

[@christinewood8331]

Went there yesterday there's huge fish in the aquarium and turtles and smaller fish too only about £3 to get in...it's a great walk if you carry on across the bridge there's also a working railway to get to Matlock for those that don't have a car you've got Gulliver kingdom theme park up the hill and the cable cars that take you to the very top of heights of Abraham with scattered fab shops walking back down so much to see in a little place

[@theedavyanderson1079]

Wonderful video of one of my favourite places. Much like visiting, watching this made me want to move there. Thanks so much for making it. Hope I'm not speaking out of turn, but as a confirmed baldy of many years would it be rude to suggest a cap to keep the sun off?! I've not been out without one since 1983, when my first sunburn brought with it the realisation that my hair had was goin on it's own holiday! :D I'm unable to watch the Derwent Gardens video though, it's coming up as unavailable due to being private?

[@gmbpanther]

Coven, best shop in matlock! Love that place

[@paul197290]

What a lovely place. Looking forward to coming down a week on Saturday to visit and hope we get the weather you had that day 😊😊

Wouldn't say that IT looks like a seaside resort myself, more like a czech republic or hungarian hillside resort. Lovely place. THX

Wow ,amazing ,I only saw two motorcycles and no Hardly Ableson's !

🤣🤣🤣

[@a2bmodelrailways210]

A nice video of our village. Just a shame you did not venture up the George Centre arcade and missed us and a couple of other local businesses.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

I’m heading back very soon so will do that on the next one for sure!

[@ewoodrailway]

Something about Matlock bath I like

[@BenjaminWalters-ig2cj]

Missed out the fishpond by the pavilion never mentioned the cable cars, Heights of Abraham or Gullivers kingdom which are major attractions. Sunny Sunday afternoons brings scores of motorcyclists. Well worth a visit.

👍

[@niccolehoody7317]

Dang that's a lot of fish 🐟 and chip 🍟 shops touring there or moving I would in 1 year try them all to see who the best lol 😆

Once again you have found a must see village. Hubby could have fish & chips at a different spot every day. Then he could work off the calories rowing the boats up & down again.
