Visited here with my hubby and our kids (5 & 7), and we all had a fab day. 5 yr old was a little worried in the cable car to start with, but was then fine. We did both caverns and they both enjoyed them and found it interesting. The playareas are good for kids as well, and there was... more

Once you take the trip on the cablecar which was approximately £10 per person this came with another ticket that can be used again within the year. Good sturdy walking boots are required once you get to the other side of the hilltop, and maybe waterproof gear. This could be needed if you decide to take a trip down one... more

We visited on a beautiful sunny day in May. The cable car ride up the hillside was really enjoyable and the queues were fine in the morning, only getting very busy around 1130 when we had to send one of our party back to the car park below for our picnic. In fact we could have eaten at the restaurant/bar,... more

Visited on Good Friday in the rain so there were no queues and very quiet around the site. Had intended visiting the weekend before but Matlock Bath was gridlocked with bikers at some sort of gathering and spectators at a kayaking competition on the river so it was just impossible to park, hence return visit. We parked at the station... more

I have been to Matlock before and vowed never to endure the cable car ride to the Heights of Abraham, as I am scared to death of heights. However I went yesterday and with a lot of patience and encouraging words from my partner I went up and amazingly came back down in the cable car. The tours were informative,... more

We enjoyed a lovely afternoon here in the Heights of Abraham. No Queue for the cable car and we had no waiting for the 2 cavern tours. The Rutland one was espescially entertaining thanks to the guide (a trained opera singer) who knew how to tell a story. The bar was reasonably priced with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating... more

My wife and I spent have just spent the day at the Heights of Abraham. It was a 1st class day out. It was very easy to get to, being excellently signposted from the MI, and once there it was very interesting. Obviously not for the faint hearted, the alpine type lift was both novel and a real experience. Both... more

We were mostly driving through this area and just decided to stop when we saw a sign about a cable car ride. This ended up being a great idea since it was a beautiful town, a beautiful day and fun but scary ride up the side of a mountain. The views from the top were really nice and although we... more

The cable car ride is quite thrilling - and quite scary if you don't like heights! Once at the top you've got a restaurant, kids play areas, a lookout tower and a couple of underground cave trips. The views from up here are real nice. The caves don't really compare to some of the other (better) caves in the area... more
