Cable Cars, Confessions, and Chips: TP3 to The Matlocks

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.

Great Days Out on the bus from Buxton podcast was created in collaboration with Buxton Town Team, and was inspired by the booklet of the same name.
