The walks are stunning - you do not have to go far for great walks - and Matlock has its own swimming centre and public gym.

Our neighbours Matlock Bath are renowned for their illuminations and Venetian Nights that commence 5th Sept and run every Saturday and Sunday through to 31st Oct. This is an event that started with the celebration of the Diamond Jubilee in 1897 and features the decorated and illuminated boats that are produced by the members of the Matlock Bath Venetian Boat Builders Association and rowed by them each Saturday and Sunday evening during the Illuminations season. The Arkwright Cup, donated by Sir Richard Arkwright in 1903, is awarded to the winning design and the Boat Parade continues to feature one 'candle-lit' boat in the traditional Victorian style.

The river banks are adorned with illuminated displays on various themes and the cliffs around are flood lit. Firework displays are also given on certain nights throughout the illuminations season.
