Matlock & Matlock Bath
Matlock Derbyshire. Mon 30 Dec 2019
This narrow path a little way down from the summit of High Tor was
named by a tabloid paper as the most
dangerous footpath in England. It would even be safe without the handrail
but does give splendid views
Matlock Bath
The cable car across the valley is the easy way up Masson Hill to
'The Heights of Abraham'
Trees beside the Derwent were festooned after the recent floods
Opposite the town are the 'Lover's Walks' on the wooded hillside
The pink building is the Peak District Mining Museum, but our first
destination was the Fishpond pub opposite
and it does have a pond with fish which you can visit without going
into the pub. We went to look at the fish
while waiting for our meals to arrive
and left by a door with a fish on it
to go to the mining museum.
We had to leave the museum before seeing everything as it was gettling
late. We climbed up a path opposite
and soon had a view down the main street
We didn't visit the theme park, but went up the steps of a steep footpath
past another blocked mine entrance
It was getting close to sunset
and the opposite side of the valley was bathed in golden light
Then almost entirely in shadow
We came down the hill into Matlock
arriving back in twilight.
