5. Visit Derbyshire’s ‘little Switzerland’
Matlock Bath is one of the most scenic villages in Derbyshire, and is a popular destination for people visiting the county. The village became a hotspot for significant historical figures after warm springs were discovered in the late 1600s. Lord Byron visited and compared the area to alpine Switzerland, and the nickname of ‘little Switzerland’ was born. There are plenty of things to do in the area - with the cable car at the Heights of Abraham a favourite among visitors. Photo: Brian Eyre
