Cable car and caverns

Heights of Abraham

Directly overlooking Matlock Bath is the spectacular Heights of Abraham, a landmark hilltop park that has been welcoming eager explorers since 1787. Getting there is half the fun—the attraction is accessed via a thrilling cable car ride that launches from the valley floor and glides high above the deep limestone gorge.
