Cable Cars, Confessions, and Chips: TP3 to The Matlocks
from Great Days Out on the bus from Buxton
Enough with the wandering, time to go to a real destination. Maria sets off once more, this time with her partner in tow, and a legendary local attraction in mind: The Heights of Abraham. They hop on the TP3 to Matlock, and take a gentle hillside hike over to Matlock Bath. Maria immediately succumbs to an ice-cream, and walking by the river the pair muse on the town’s (or is it village’s?) bizarre seaside aesthetics and atmosphere. Come along on this soaring cable car adventure, and get a glimpse of the cavern tours (and their charismatic guides) without having to stand in the bitterly cold and dripping caves.
