The house dating back
to 1557 was a 3-storey Elizabethan structure enclosing
a square court. It covered roughly the area of the
present house (without the addition made by the
6th Duke) and its walls were partly incorporated
into the existing structure when the house was remodelled
between 1686 and 1707 for the 4th Earl, who was
later made a duke by King William III for his support
in the "Glorious Revolution" of 1688,
which brought King William and Queen Mary to the
throne of England. At first the Earl only intended
to rebuild the south front, but with the accession
of William III and the elevation of the Earl to
a Dukedom his schemes became grander, and by 1707
he had in fact rebuilt the whole house.

panoramic views and a cable car, it is easy to understand
why the Victorians called Matlock Bath “Little
Switzerland”. The Heights of Abraham Cable

Bath and provides a unique aspect to a day out or
