For those with younger families, the wonderful theme park of Gulliver’s Kingdom in Matlock Bath is a real treat. It’s especially designed for children aged between 2 and 13, with a wide range of rides, attractions and themed areas – from the Western World to Smuggler’s Wharf. There’s an exciting Log Flume and Drop Tower, as well as a Log Roller Coaster and a Pirate Ship. Aspiring digger drivers will also love the JCB Zone in Lilliput Land!
Set high on a stunning hillside 300 feet above the Derwent Valley, the adults will love the views too, and the location adds an extra element to the thrill of the rides.
Gulliver’s Kingdom is within walking distance of the lovely village of Matlock Bath. There is free car parking available at Gulliver’s Kingdom and entrances on two terraces provide convenient access up the hill from the car park. There’s also a travellator and a chairlift (both buggy-friendly) to help transport you from the bottom to the top in just a few minutes.
