A weekend in Matlock: an accessible itinerary

This two-day plan is built for wheelchair users and anyone with limited mobility. Every attraction and every hotel on it states disabled access. Day one keeps the hops short: Graves Park Animal Farm in the morning, then 2.4 miles to Rassams Creamery for lunch (5/5 food hygiene rating, open from 11:00 every day), then 3 miles on to Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet. Day two starts with a longer 12.8-mile drive to the Tropical Butterfly House, followed by lunch 4.8 miles away at The Cafe At The Corner, which also holds a 5/5 hygiene rating.

For a base, all four hotels state disabled access. The Sheffield Travelodge is just 0.1 miles from Meadowhall station, and Travelodge Derby Pride Park is 0.7 miles from Derby station. If you're arriving by train, Matlock station is the nearest to Matlock. Our data doesn't record access at the two lunch stops, so please check parking, accessible toilets and lifts directly with each place before booking.

Day 1

Start at Graves Park Animal Farm, then drive 2.4 miles to Rassams Creamery, which opens at 11:00, before a final 3-mile hop to Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet. The creamery's access isn't recorded in our data, so ring ahead about step-free entry and toilets.

Day 2

Allow for the longest drive of the weekend, 12.8 miles, to reach the Tropical Butterfly House. Lunch at The Cafe At The Corner is a further 4.8 miles. We don't hold access details for the cafe, so confirm parking and accessible facilities with them before you set off.
