At the heart of the Peak District National Park, Eyam is a quaint village to spend a short break. This village is famous as the 'plague village'. When the plague was rife in the 1660s, this village infamously self-quarantined itself after the illness reached them from London and saving Derbyshire in the process. There are many relics that have been left behind from this time.
Many buildings in this village look the same as they did centuries ago and have plaques with information about their history. The surrounding countryside is beautiful and worth exploring. Eyam is a lovely place to stay and enjoy the great outdoors. Whatever draws you to this unusual village, Last Minute Cottages has the last minute cottage for you.
