Matlock, County town in Peak District, United Kingdom
Matlock sits along the River Derwent, stretching through a narrow gorge between Cromford and Matlock Bridge in the Derbyshire Dales district.
The settlement, recorded as Meslach in the Domesday Book of 1086, expanded during the 1800s with the development of hydrotherapy establishments and cloth mills.
The town transformed into a health destination after the 1698 discovery of thermal springs, leading to the construction of twenty hydrotherapy centers.
The railway station connects to Derby while multiple bus routes serve the town, positioning it 9 miles southwest of Chesterfield near major urban centers.
Hall Leys Park, established in 1898, contains a Victorian bandstand and functions as part of the town's flood management system.
