Matlock Bridge

Matlock Bridge is a small town within the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England. It is situated on the River Derwent and lies adjacent to the larger town of Matlock. The name "Matlock Bridge" often leads to confusion as it is frequently considered part of Matlock itself, though historically and technically it is a separate, smaller settlement.

The village, as it is often referred to, is predominantly residential and commercial. It is characterized by a number of businesses serving both locals and tourists visiting the Matlock area. These businesses often include shops, pubs, and accommodation providers.

Matlock Bridge's location on the River Derwent has been historically significant, although the precise historical events and industrial activities specific only to Matlock Bridge are often difficult to separate from the broader history of Matlock. The presence of the river contributed to early industry and remains a defining feature of the landscape.

Transport links include road access and close proximity to Matlock railway station, providing connections to other parts of Derbyshire and beyond. The area is popular with tourists exploring the Peak District National Park and nearby attractions.
