A day spent in a beautiful town called Matlock(UK).
If you're ever lucky enough to visit middle-England please make time for Matlock. 
Matlock is a small town located in the valleys of Derbyshire and here is a place that has something for everyone... and I really do mean everyone.

![IMG_20190407_113121_(1)[1].jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXVfRxMzAg6mWnkCg7R47mELR95PGAce5BTMMxHyjvWLa/IMG_20190407_113121_(1)[1].jpg)
 
### Whilst you're here, you can hire a rowing boat and paddle yourself down the valley. 

![IMG-20190415-WA0000[1].jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTFZxwcJfvxVkZQsbxFB1tyuXHqDXddfRME2t6vjRRCtg/IMG-20190415-WA0000[1].jpg)

### Or you can climb a big-ass hill and visit The Heights of Abraham. 

![IMG_20190407_131655_(1)[1].jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmP42BBJ6PGsKxSeehQ9EDWHBENwnXDFyfXydaAEDXCGmM/IMG_20190407_131655_(1)[1].jpg)

## And for those of you who can't quite manage the climb, you can still make it to the top via cable cars.

![IMG_20190407_134925_(1)[1].jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWSBtjykb5YykWGnaEckkE9wxrZEHorgfXZaJN3aEdQKY/IMG_20190407_134925_(1)[1].jpg)

## If you're really lucky, you might even be able to get there by piggy-back ride (Weight restrictions apply)

![IMG_20190407_133153_(1)[1].jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaoeQzsvNsP5K7RnHUE19Xc7hb9ihcSAWKVW4HpFP75zu/IMG_20190407_133153_(1)[1].jpg) 

### However you choose to reach the summit, once there, you can either break out the picnic blanket and marvel at the views or carry on adventuring and take a tour around Matlock's famous cave system. 
### Either way, I can assure you that you'll see something fascinating... 

### ...Like this ancient Well and stone basin.  

![IMG_20190407_131508_(1)[1].jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdwegG1YbxbSS9dQvM8pFkm5XqJtMZrD4UMWJf7PDmbMf/IMG_20190407_131508_(1)[1].jpg)

### But it doesn't end there... Oh no my friends, not by a long-shot...

So you don't fancy any of that? Nature and history not your thing? Well how about motorbikes...And not just your ordinary motorbikes either, because this is Matlock and for those who don't know, Matlock is a Mecca for Bikers.

![IMG_20190407_163650_(1)[1].jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaNncnmmfqjqpMHRV7pjoh6EhYfcgVPkjx6FAg1VvXwQY/IMG_20190407_163650_(1)[1].jpg)

![IMG_20190407_163813_(1)[1].jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmboHAcgdiQLgy6HFEd6YzcNV91MXyEqgs1i7fgLrnoj3G/IMG_20190407_163813_(1)[1].jpg)

![IMG_20190407_163538_(1)[1].jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmU2X9Fccy2YNcKndLStQdjsT99zLvCZHsAQLyqWRSogKk/IMG_20190407_163538_(1)[1].jpg)

### And if 2 wheels aren't your thing, then there's always something extra to be found...

![IMG_20190407_164956_(1)[1].jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQbJr76MtfpYkNQxmihm6WaUscXuBV24SqidGgPVkZmdj/IMG_20190407_164956_(1)[1].jpg)

### Whether man, woman or child, Matlock is simply stunning. The air is fresh and even though the kids sometimes protested against our navigational skills...
![IMG_20190407_113953_(1)[1].jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmT7YPuSXfPFuYNedm9ktEhLrq5ULVU2o6tyf2tQBpxakw/IMG_20190407_113953_(1)[1].jpg)
### ...In the end though, they just couldn't help enjoy themselves (Which means my girlfriend and I enjoy ourselves too)

![IMG_20190407_124957_(1)[1].jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbhuQEXnYM9ueztDJ6pHASXd8jxC3n5tJnYQ3QkzdfcFG/IMG_20190407_124957_(1)[1].jpg)

### Fortunately, we happen to live just an hour away and we've been here many time before. Still, this place never seems to lose its charm and we'll keep coming back time and again. I mean why wouldn't we...? Especially when it gives us memories like these. 

![IMG_20190407_120810_(1)[1].jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQaoxqmwrpwG6nysEL4xUtxsRkfZDdX7BvdF4qt9yG7YV/IMG_20190407_120810_(1)[1].jpg)

Haha! Yeah @Magicdice app often reward players accounts seemingly randomly via comments. I had a quick gamble today of half a STEEM.
I had a decent $8 reward a week or two back on another random comment. It’s very welcome though!

Hey that looks like a neat place. Ancient relics in the middle of a picturesque countryside and so close to  such a historic metropolis. When I think of the uk, it is tough not to think about my time spent downtown. I never got to the outskirts or places like this but I will for sure the next time I go now. 

Thanks for sharing the adventure and the recommendation. You look so happy adventuring.

I did the same when I worked over in Holland and now want to go back and see all the places I missed. Sometimes you just can't fit it all in though and it does give a great excuse to return. I hope you get the chance to come back to UK too. Thanks for commenting buddy
