Eyam Village (Derbyshire, England) Reviews
Newest Review: ... the one next to the butcher was very expensive and of dubious quality, whereas the one across the road which I think was called simply Eyam Tea Rooms was really nice and friendly with very good quality food.

Firstly there is a museum which documents the history of the village and is worth checking out. There is also a very small craft centre which although has ... more

A Quick History Lesson ------------------------------- During the summer of 1665, a resident of Eyam received a package of cloth from London. Finding the cloth to be damp on its arrival, he hung it in front of the fire to dry. This awakened some dormant plague bacteria in the cloth and within a week, he was ... Read the complete review

The small village of Eyam, (pronounced Eem) in Derbyshire, is a picturesque place with such an historical story to tell. My first experience with this beautiful little village was back in the late 1980's, during its annual festival, when a few of us pitched some tents on the fields heading towards Stoney Middleton, (we did have the owners permission so we were made very welcome...although nowadays camping is forbidden on that land) Anyway, back then there were two pubs in the village where the visiting tourist could find liquid refreshments whilst watching the small but fantastic parade as it passed by... although getting served was a challenge in ...
