The post-industrial landscape of Cawdor Quarry creates the focus for a tranquil sequence of spa villages nestled between the Derbyshire Dales and the newly energised town of Matlock.
Known as Matlock Spa, the spa villages will bring a new use to Cawdor Quarry, a brownfield site which fell into disuse in the 1950’s. Each village boasts its own distinctive character offering a variety of homes in the form of 2, 3, 4 and 5 bedroom crescents, woodland lodges, courtyard cottages and spa villas.

Pathways and roads are designed to encourage walking and cycling connecting to Matlock town centre - less than ten minutes’ walk away - and to the extensive network of footpaths and cycle ways that are linked to this site. Front doors face out to the park setting and cars are discretely hidden in courtyards
and under buildings. The houses are designed to make the most of daylight and sunlight and there are no north facing gardens.

Each part of Matlock Spa has a distinctive and memorable character harmonised by a consistent pproach to the use of natural stone and slate with references to the vernacular tradition of Derbyshire Dales.
