UK: Derby and Matlock Bath

DERBY is a compact and cosy little city in the middle of England that hosts around 250.000 inhabitants. Typically English with old red stone houses and old churches in many corners; churches that interestingly enough are used as pubs, resturants etc these days.

Matlock Bath

There are many beautiful places around Derby, such as The Peak district. A small town close to the district was called Matlock bath since warm springs were discovered in the 1600 century and later baths were built here. Matlock bath has a beautiful river with green walking paths such as the "lovers walk" along the side and in the woods. Walking up to the hill sides to look at the great views and the houses made me think of an alp village.

Wherever I go I seem to make new nice friends :) I´ll greet my own two cats from them when I get home.

I love apple cake with vanilla custard or ice cream. And I truly got my share at the decorative little cafe "The victorian teashop" in Matlock bath. Visit this place if you can! English scones with jam and cream + tea was not a bad option either.
