I used to work in Matlock and from my office window I had a splendid view of Riber Castle, I never did get round to seeing it close up though.

 

Perhaps, one day I'll make the effort.

Yeah I heard there were talks of that happening, I hope they do something with it, not too sure whether flats is a great idea but a shame to just let it fall to bits.

 

As for living there, even if I could afford it I doubt I would. A few of the guys I used to work with there used to enjoy winding the locals up about Matlock being a boring blue rinse retirement village.

 

A nice place none the less:)
