Matlock Bath Aquarium is a tourist attraction, with over 50 species of fish, located in a Victorian Bath House, at Matlock Bath, Derbyshire.

The site has many different displays including a collection of old photographs and information relating to Matlock Bath.

The thermal pool remains at a constant temperature of 20, fed by a spring thought to be 2,000ft below ground and is replenished at a rate of 600,000 gallons a day. This pool is home to a collection of Carp but it was believed to have healing properties.

Other displays include a petrifying well, a gemstone and fossil display and a private collection of Goss and Crested China.
