On this walk we'll learn about the fascinating history around the village of Eyam which, in 1665, was infected with the Plague after flea- invested cloth arrived from London. We discover how villagers quarantined themselves to protect their community and those nearby. We'll visit some of the key sites around the village. These might include the Plague Cottages, Riley Graves, Mompesson's Well and the Boundary Stone - each has a story! The route of this walk is flexible depending on the interests of the group.

We ascend out of Eyam to Sir William Hill, a high point on our walk, exploring the heather clad moorland with lovely, far reaching views before descending back to the village to enjoy a well earned cuppa!

A lovely day combining countryside, views and history.

The distance is about 5 - 6 miles/10km with approx 275m/900 ft of ascent.
