If you’re looking for something relaxing to do in the Matlock area take a visit Lea Gardens, café and nursery, just ten minutes outside Matlock. The gardens and nursery specialise in rhododendrons, azaleas, and alpines and are particularly spectacular during the rhododendron flowering season but are well worth visiting at any time for the short pleasant wooded walks and locally sourced, organic food served at the Tea Garden Café (note winter closing dates below).
Lea Gardens hosts events and activities throughout the year including childrens’ activities, tapas nights and a fireworks display in November.
