When it's busy it can take the bus a long time to get into Matlock Bus Station and so today I got off at the bottom of the steep hill in Matlock Green and went exploring in the area near to the church.
The church was open and so I went inside, there's nothing particularly interesting to look at; I was joined by a fellow Doncastrian though, now living in the local area, and we chatted for a few minutes.
The food and drink festival was being held in Hall Leys Park and from this area I was able to easily access the park. I was disappointed with the festival, the last time I visited about ten years ago there were many more stalls, inside two large marquees.
I went into the town and looked in the charity shops and then caught a bus to Matlock Bath, it was surprisingly quiet for a Saturday with several shops closed. I bought a tub of ice cream and ate it sitting down by the river.
