Matlock

Began our East Midlands meander with a two hour drive to Matlock in Derbyshire, which appears to major in antique / vintage shops, in one of which we also found Miss Marddle’s Tea Shop where surrounded by china tea pots, cups, saucers, plates and jugs we had tea and toasties followed by Bakewell tarts; a stroll was needed to walk off the calories - and very pleasant it was through the park and along the banks of the River Derwent.
