Hi Brendan. I'm from Matlock.and my mum still lives there. The history behind the town is when it was built it was with Switzerland in mind and the the guy wanted to make it a tourist area.. hence why its nickname is little Switzerland. Its very much like Port Merion in Wales where a town.was created with a reproduction of another place in Europe. So Matlock Bath has become an inland coastal town with no beach. Its very much a tourist trap.

Haha, just caught up with this video! I go to Matlock pretty much weekly during the summer as a beautiful motorbike ride/stopping spot from Staffordshire. It is a bit of a weird place and if you’re unsure of which Fish & Chip shop to try due to the sheer amount of choice, I recommend the Promenade 👌 😅

Matlock Bath Illuminations are good they run from September to October. Your little one will love it. Warning though youll need to pre book tickets as they sell out quick and ive seen people turned away trying to buy on the day. They also have firework display too on some of the days.

Matlock Bath used to be an extremely popular spot for motorcyclists to gather, especially during the summer weekends. As a teenager I used to love looking at all the different motorcycles parked along the front. Not sure if this is still occurring.

You missed the best thing... Alpine cable car, up to the caves and mines above the village. The place you walked is the only inland promenade in the UK, and is a mecca for motorbikes throughout the year. The more classic peak district town is Matlock itself, with a bandstand, park and boaring lake! 😊

Guess what we'll be there again in about 2 weeks time😁

@@BrendanExplores My favourite thing about the seaside is going to those street food sellers and getting a pot of prawns and some cocktail sauce. I remember the sand dunes of Blackpool were fun when I was a child, but it's been a good few years since I went to a beach. There are some very nice beaches in the Devon area. Clacton On Sea hosts an Air Show every few years, it's well worth a visit. They start off with The Red Arrows going over the bay at 12 midday accurate to the second, which I filmed. Amazing.

Literally went canoeing there today. You missed out the aquarium, there’s one in one of the amusements you went in, it’s not a bad little aquarium. Also high tor up on the cliffs and heights of Abraham on the other side of the cliff (the big cable car), then gullivers kingdom at the end. The New Bath Hotel is the place with the Victorian lido. Was in that red fish and chip shop you walked past at the end of the video today. Matlock bath is not very far from Nottingham, derby, Sheffield so gets a lot of people from those areas visiting as the coast is around 2 hours drive from most of these cities.

It’s very much meant as a tourist seaside town without the sea. The amusement arcade contains the petrifying well where the waters still calcify items and the old swimming bath is full of koi carp. It’s a Mecca for bikers and is rammed especially on Sundays with bikers which is Another reason for all the chippies. There is a section of the river bank that was known as the beach but you didn’t cover the riverside walk. Google giddy heights for the walk above Matlock. It’s also the home of gullivers kingdom. We love going for the evening for a chippy supper which is a 70 mile round trip. The home of the Industrial Revolution is just down the road Arkwright Mill . I’ve been going for over 40yrs and it’s it’s always busy with bikers and families. And yes people do go for holidays as there are B&Bs and hotels.
