 Matlock
|
|
|
Matlock, only
a small hamlet until the 1800's when mills at Cromford were
built by Richard Arkwight. But it really expanded when "hydrotherapy"
treatments where introduced to the Victorians by John Smedley.
Smedley even built his own castle, now in ruins.
With trains and trams
the town prospered for 100 years.
Today a busy town
and tourist centre on the edge of the Peak District and close
to Matlock Bath, a mile
down the A6.
High Tor towers over
these towns and there are plenty of paths to wander high over
the River Derwent. Or try a gentle stroll around Hall Leys
Park, down by the river.
Good views from St
Giles church, above the town, with its stained glass windows.
