Matlock West is a ward on the western side of the market town of Matlock in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England. It occupies sloping ground above the River Derwent, with a mix of Victorian terraces, inter‑war and post‑war housing and pockets of green space, offering outlooks towards the nearby hills of the Peak District.
Historically the town expanded as a 19th‑century spa and light‑industrial centre, and the ward today is largely residential with local shops, schools and active community groups; many residents commute to Derby or Sheffield. Its position close to visitor draws such as the Heights of Abraham and Riber Castle means the area also feels the effects of local tourism and outdoor recreation.
