Eyam

Eyam is primarily known for its self-imposed quarantine during the bubonic plague of 1665-1666. The villagers made the courageous decision to isolate themselves to prevent the spread of the disease to other communities, a sacrifice that has made Eyam a symbol of bravery and community spirit.

Key attractions include the Eyam Parish Church, where sermons were delivered during the plague, the Plague Cottages, the Eyam Museum, which provides detailed information about the plague and the villagers' lives, and various memorials and historical markers throughout the village.

Eyam is accessible by car, with parking available in the village. Public transport options include buses that run to nearby towns and villages, from which you can walk or take a local taxi. The nearest train station is in Sheffield, from which you can take a bus or taxi.
