The Heights of Abraham
Dale Road
Matlock Bath
Derbyshire DE4 3NT
We don't have our own car park. There are four main car parks in Matlock Bath. These are all run by Derbyshire Dales District Council, and therefore are all pay and display. The machines accept cash or you can pay by phone. Please note, the machines do not accept cards.
We love to welcome all visitors to the Heights, but due to the nature of the site, there are gradients that some guests may find a challenge.
Dogs are welcome on the cable cars and across the estate. They cannot go into the caverns or the restaurant.
