Derwent Gardens is a formal park located on the southern side of the Pavilion in Matlock Bath, overlooking the River Derwent.

The distinctive emphasis of the gardens is water. Several thermal springs emerge in the park creating the water gardens. Grottos and alcoves also provide unique features within the beautiful gardens.

Found across a river bridge opened in 1969, the Lovers' Walks are a series of footpaths along the riverside and up and over the spectacular cliffs.

Facilities include a bandstand, playarea, picnic area and rowing boats.
