Access Card notes
Visited the Heights of Abraham visitor attraction at Matlock Bath, Derbyshire yesterday. Bought the ticket online the day before. Paid for myself and my carer got in free. When entering the venue I had to show my booking email and my Access card and that was it. First time using my card too. Not very suitable for people with limited mobility and it's very hilly but the views are stunning.

Access guidance
- The cable cars are on a continuous driven loop, of which, only stops for disabled customers or when there is a safety risk presented. The maximum size for wheelchairs and pushchairs is 105cm x 60cm. There is a small step up into, or down out of, the cable cars. We can place a ramp for those in a wheelchair. The cable car may sway slightly as you step on, but this is nothing to worry about.
- Dogs are welcome on the cable cars, inside the cafe, the exhibition buildings, shops, and throughout the landscaped grounds, as long as they are kept on a lead. Water bowls provided. Unfortunately. for safety reasons dogs are not allowed inside the restaurant and underground caverns. For more information about where you can take your dog at the Heights. Guide dogs and assistance dogs are allowed into the caverns, however the surface of the cavern steps is not comfortable on their feet. If you do wish to take your guide dog underground, please speak to your cavern guide first.
