High Tor

Reviewed By Bec-Notts-2209 - Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom

The weathers been really nice today for the end March so decided to have a drive to Matlock... Derbyshire being one of my favourite places to get out to, we decided to go for a nice walk over High Tor then into Matlock Bath It was very busy today with bikers/tourists - the weather has brought everyone out! ????☀️ There’s lots of places to get nice ice creams, chips shops, coffee shops, amusement arcades, gifts shops and more! There’s a kids play area along lovers walk. High Tor cliffs have amazing views, I would recommend anyone to visit this area, you won’t be disappointed - I love living in the countryside. There’s some great B & B’s in the area too... There’s also Black Rock, Carsington Water, Chatsworth House and more all within so many miles - so lots to see and do - it’s a beautiful part of the country if you ever want to try somewhere you haven’t been to before?! ????????????

Black Rocks

Reviewed By Prits_traveldiary - Leicester, United Kingdom

Visited the Black rocks for a day out with children, for the first time in cromford, Derbyshire, i was mesmerised by the stunning views soon as we had got there, a great place for walks with children or on own to admire the stunning views, right outside our door step, The climb of the rocks a little scary but a lovely little adventure as a family, we went during summer months of 2020, with a little picnic, Sandwich and coffee with a view. A great place to visit with kids for some exciting outdoor fresh air.
