Situated just 70 yards from the River Derwent and only a 2-minute walk from Matlock town centre, Peak Dale Apartment is an ideal location for those who love the outdoors and seek adventure and discovery by exploring the delights of Derbyshire and the Peak District National Park with its many National Trust sights to visit.

Matlock is the county town of Derbyshire and a former spa town situated at a sharp bend in the River Derwent. The town is located on the edge of the Peak District National Park and is surrounded by spectacular hills and limestone cliffs. Today these cliffs attract rock climbers and the magnificent riverside setting in a steep wooded gorge, attracts walkers and canoeists.

The Matlock Valley is honeycombed with both caves and old lead mine workings, some of which are thought to date back to Roman times. The town is home to the Peak District Lead Mining Museum where you can take a tour of Temple Mine. This area witnessed the birth of the Industrial Revolution and visitors can still tour Arkwright’s water-powered cotton mill and Masson Mill.

Today the area still welcomes many tourists to attractions such as Gulliver’s Kingdom theme park, Haddon Hall and Chatsworth House. Matlock outdoor market is held on each Tuesday, Friday and Saturday. A farmer’s market is also held on the 3rd Saturday of the month. Many events and festivals are held in the town throughout the year, including a Victorian Christmas weekend on the first week of December.

Just 1.6miles downriver of the main town lies the picturesque spa town of Matlock Bath, which contains the main tourist attractions of the locality including the Heights of Abraham with cable car and breath-taking views of the Derwent valley and surrounding dales. There are also two large show caverns in the Heights, which can also be visited.

Peak Dale apartment is therefore the ideal base for couples or single travellers - a fantastically furnished property right in the centre of many activities and walks.
