Oker is a charming and secluded hamlet situated on the southern slopes of Oker Hill, offering a peaceful rural retreat just a short distance from Matlock. The village is famous for its association with the poet William Wordsworth, who was inspired to write a sonnet about the landmark ‘Will Shore’s Tree’ atop Oker Hill. This prominent peak, once thought to be a Roman lookout point, provides breathtaking 360 degree views across the Derwent Valley and the surrounding Peak District.
