Riverside Derwent is a truly beautiful place to walk, offering stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere just a short stroll from the shops and cafes. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a relaxing walk while taking in the scenic beauty of the river and surrounding nature. The area is well-maintained and accessible, making it suitable for visitors of all ages. Whether you're looking for a leisurely stroll, a peaceful spot to sit and watch the water, or a scenic backdrop for some photos, Riverside Derwent delivers on all fronts. Its convenient location close to local shops and cafes makes it easy to combine a walk with some shopping or a bite to eat afterward. It’s an ideal place to unwind after a busy day exploring the town. Overall, Riverside Derwent is a lovely, scenic spot that adds a touch of tranquility and natural beauty to the area. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a peaceful walk with beautiful views close to amenities.

Beautiful little stretch of river. Good for walk along the river in Matlock which is one of a charming place in Derbyshire. A lot of wildlife around if you’re a nature lover. Be aware if out for dog walk, use dog leads as a lot of farmer sheep around.

Lots of foot paths to take along this river. Just follow your nose, close the gates and enjoy the views.

As a river I found it pretty underwhelming, mostly all flat bits no rapids, no majestic waterfalls. The rocks along the side were all pretty monotone, not nice mossy ones like I like.

I would give this river two and a half stars if I could mainly down to the boulders and the fact there there weren't many dead branches in it. Thank god for google letting me leave reviws on rivers as if they're flipping theme parks! Happy...

The river Derwent is beautiful on its own and passes through some idyllic scenery but it also boasts some beautiful architecture which has and still is being painstakingly restored to its former beauty. You should follow the Derwent valley trail which takes in a lot but would recommend ideally breaking it up in order to make the most of what it's got to offer.
