Cawdor Quarry is a disused quarry in Matlock, Derbyshire. Much of it is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest.Within the SSSI the quarry still contains some old derelict machinery and warehouses. Cawdor Ponds, three lakes left over from the quarrying, are now owned by Matlock Angling Club and are a popular swimming spot for locals. The Peak District is renowned for its quarrying, and stone from Cawdor Quarry was used in the construction of both Hyde Park Corner and the Thames Embankment in London. Around 2000, the quarry land was purchased by the supermarket giant Sainsbury's who proposed the building of a new supermarket by the spring of 2002. This met much opposition from local shopkeepers and proposals to regenerate most of the centre of Matlock became part of the plan. This included a new bus station (to be located close to Sainsbury's), the diversion of the A6 road, the possibility of making Crown Square into a pedestrianised area where markets could be held and the possibility of making the bridge over the River Derwent one-way. The bus station, the diversion of the A6, and the one-way bridge were all incorporated into the plan which was approved. From January 2007, Birse Engineering started work on developing the new road and Bowmer & Kirkland Ltd, main contractors for Sainsbury's, started work on the superstore. The store opened on Thursday 4 October 2007, with the petrol station opening on 25 October, later that month. The Peak Rail Heritage Railway centre used part of the former Cawdor Quarry sidings as their connection to the mainline at Matlock. Part of the old loading docks will have to be removed to make way for a new alignment in order to restore the mainline connection at Matlock. There are also plans to build 400+ new homes at Cawdor Quarry in a development called Matlock Spa. This additional development will occur soon, following on from the completion of the supermarket project.

Matlock Riverside was the terminus of Peak Rail, a preserved steam railway of approximately 4 miles (6.5 km) in length. For many years Peak Rail had planned to run trains into Matlock station, shared with the main line from Derby (the Derwent Valley Line). The station was built in 1991 due to problems negotiating with British Rail to run into the station at Matlock at that time. In 2008 Peak Rail negotiated a 50-year lease to run into Platform 2 at Matlock. Track layout adjustments and refurbishment of the Matlock down platform followed and In July 2011 Peak Rail commencing running services into Matlock station. At the time it was announced that Matlock Riverside was being retained for special events and demonstration goods trains. It has also been used for winter trains. The station itself is a temporary wooden construction, and was previously used at Chee Dale Halt near Buxton when Peak Rail was based at Buxton in the 1980s. Due to operating complications at the Buxton end of the route, Peak Rail moved south to Darley Dale near Matlock, and the former Chee Dale Halt was re-used, forming Matlock Riverside. The station consists of one platform, situated on the Up (east) side of the former deviation, whilst the Down line was used as a run-round loop, which permits the use of a single locomotive on services (although top-and-tail operation occurred on Special Event Days). The current connection to Matlock station branches from the Down side of the line so it is not possible for a train to call at both Matlock Riverside and Matlock stations. Access to the station is via a public footpath from Matlock Town, the distance between the two being no more than one-quarter mile (0.4 km). For a time, Matlock Riverside possessed a small hut that functioned as a Ticket Office. After this was frequently damaged by local vandals, however, the station became permanently unstaffed with tickets required to be purchased aboard the train.
