Gully, the park's mascot
Gulliver's Kingdom is the Derbyshire park in the UK chain of Gulliver's theme parks, which are primarily aimed at children between 2 and 13 years old. The parks are named after the title character in the Gulliver's Travels stories, although these do not feature prominently as a theme at Gulliver's Kingdom.
Set on a hillside just Matlock Bath, the views from the park's rides are spectacular, looking down into a valley 300 feet below. Visitors can look across to the Heights of Abraham high up on the neighbouring hillside, and down onto the town and the river.
There is a varied ride selection, with rollercoasters, a log flume and flat rides that are more than enough to fill a day of fun for children. Families will appreciate the safe friendly atmosphere: groups of adults are not permitted entry without children in their party.
