Castleton to the north, Buxton to the north-west, and Matlock to the south-east, lie nearly upon its limits.

The medicinal waters of Derbyshire were then in vogue, and a tour towards the wells of Buxton and of Matlock was undertaken.

We left Oxford with regret, and proceeded to Matlock, which was our next place of rest.

I rowed, and sung many of the river songs which I learned in scenes far from quiet Matlock.
