This is a drive away (about 30 minutes from Belle Vue) but just a lovely village to visit. You must try the Bakewell pudding - not like the Mr Kipling Bakewell slices but the real think.

Originally a bath spa town for the rich and famous, visited by royalty and thought to be the furthest place from the sea in England (75 miles in all directions). It is now a quiet village town with lots going on. pubs, restaurants, ice cream, fish and chips and motorbikes. There are fantastic walks through the Victorian River Gardens, over Lovers Leap, climb up Jacobs ladder (270 Victorian stone steps), or scale High Tor, or the heights of Abraham . Then you have the Matlock Lights through September and October and the raft race on Boxing day, both famous yearly events with many visitors. A truly beautiful place to live and visit
