Matlock Motor Club – “Dammed Fine Tour”Sunday 9th August 2026
Get ready for a truly memorable day as Matlock Motor Club invites you to join us for the Dammed Fine Tour – a relaxed, non-competitive scenic drive through some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the Peak District and beyond.
Covering approximately 90 miles, the route starts and finishes at The Hide (formerly The Highwayman) just outside Chesterfield, and winds its way along some of the finest touring roads in Derbyshire and South Yorkshire. Using OS Maps 119 and 110, you’ll be guided through a carefully curated route showcasing stunning countryside, sweeping vistas, and a collection of the region’s most picturesque reservoirs – the inspiration behind the tour’s name.
This is not a race – it’s about enjoying the journey. Whether you’re in a cherished classic, a sporty weekend car, or your everyday pride and joy, the Dammed Fine Tour is open to all. No previous experience is required, and full route instructions will be provided in an easy-to-follow road book, ensuring a stress-free and enjoyable tour for everyone .
Midway through the tour, we’ll pause at the wonderful The Carding Shed, where you can grab a drink, relax, and admire a fantastic collection of classic cars in the on-site museum – the perfect opportunity to soak up the atmosphere and share stories with fellow tourists.
The day begins and ends at The Hide, where you’ll be warmly welcomed and can enjoy the camaraderie of like-minded tourists. Huge thanks go to The Hide and QC Cars for hosting us at the start and finish, and to The Carding Shed for providing such a unique halfway stop.
Expect a picturesque route, great company, and a thoroughly enjoyable day out exploring some of the UK’s finest driving roads.
Come for the drive. Stay for the scenery. Leave with a smile.
