The Matlock, Buxton And Castleton Guide by R. Ward. The Matlock, Buxton And Castleton Guide is a nineteenth-century travel-and-geography work detailing the Peak District’s principal towns, landscapes, caverns, and antiquities. It covers Matlock Bath, Buxton, Castleton, Chatsworth, Kedleston, Haddon, Monsal Dale, Dove Dale, and other features of the northern Derbyshire region, providing concise accounts of notable places, natural phenomena, and mineral wealth, including fossil beds, lead mines, and rock strata. Ward’s volume blends topography with geology, archaeology, and local lore, describing limestone and gritstone formations, rocks such as Rootor and Mam Tor, and monuments linked to the area’s ancient past. The guide also offers practical information for visitors: distances between towns, inns and lodgings, and notes on the famous springs and baths of Matlock and Buxton, which were long believed to benefit health. This expanded sixth edition, originally published in 1826, reflects early-tourism writing and the era’s interest in natural history, antiquities, and picturesque scenery.
