Fish Pond - Matlock Bath - Where the fish went?


Recommended Posts

Was in Matlock bath yesterday and part of the ruitine is to look at the fish in the fish pond.... But they have all gone?

 

I was thinking they may have been re-homes for winter as its quite shallow.. Is this right?

Wouldn't have thought they would remove them for the winter but they may have. Do they still have fish in the big bath over the amusements? It is a long time since I was in there, it used to be full of fish. I think they had the old bubblegum machines where you put money in to get food to feed the fish.

As I understand it, the cars are taken off the cable at The Heights of Abraham cable car device this time of year and replaced with glass observation buckets into which the fish are placed to travel uphill and warmer climes in the form of the heated cafeteria at the top. Obviously, as well as being a nice treat/holiday for the fish, with panoramic fish-eye views of the Derwent valley on the way up, at £17.50 a pop, a handsome little earner for the cable car operator to boot.
