We followed a guide book from Hathersage and it was an amazing walk with a lovely view over the Peak District.

A delightful community cafe selling homemade bread,jams, chutneys and marmalades, locally made pies and southern Indian curries, crafts and homemade cakes and biscuits. Come and enjoy a cup of tea and a snack in our lovely garden under a spreading oak tree with views across the valley and down the river Derwent.

Eyam Plague Village Museum

Find out about Bubonic Plague in the Peak District village where it killed over a third of the population in 1665- 1666. Learn about the black rats, the fleas that carried the disease, and see the stories of the families it affected. Understand how the village recovered afterwards.

Reviewed By Mag666000 - Ormskirk, United Kingdom

Museum dedicated to the Eyam Plague of 1666, and to the Black Death generally. Amazing amount of information about this morbid chapter in human history, really bizarre how much dedication is attributed to the memory of the great plague, well worth a visit.

Hathersage Swimming Pool

Hathersage outdoor heated swimming pool is set in a lawned enclosure with a covered veranda to one side. During the summer months, It offers the opportunity to swim in the open air, amidst the glorious Peak District scenery, in water which is heated to 28°C

Reviewed By CathYorkshire

It was always going to be fantastic to get back in the water after over 5 months of no swimming and I travelled an hour and a half to get here - it was fabulous. The pool is spotless and the water is warm, pre booking is essential and lane swimming must be booked by speed ( think I kept up in the middle lane!) The setting for the pool is spectacular, there were 4 circling buzzards overhead when I was waiting to get in - where else can you say that will happen? Just wish the pool was a lot closer to home or I would be here every week.....

Treak Cliff Cavern

Started as a Blue John mine over 300 years ago, Treak Cliff Cavern continues to mine, process and manufacture ornamental items and jewellery from Blue John Stone today. On the 40 minute guided tour visitors can see the most abundant veins of Blue John Stone in the world and some of the 'finest stalactites' in the Peak District. We also have a shop with a vast array of rocks and minerals from around the world. Visit our free to enter museum and read about the history of the mine and see some beautiful antique Blue John ornaments, after which you can enjoy a slice of Blue John cake and refreshments from our on site cafe while admiring the view down the valley.

We managed to nip into the cavern just before a bus of school children arrived. We had a private tour with Lorna, she was such a knowledgeable guide as well as being amusing too. We really enjoyed the whole experience including a lovely cup of tea from the on site cafe. All the staff were so friendly it made it so much more enjoyable.

Blue John Cavern

This unique stone is mined and transformed here.

Reviewed By 328sarahl - Bedford, United Kingdom

Lovey visit. Staff very very friendly and the tour was highly informative. The cave is a sight to see and I would say the steps are very managable (unless you have mobility problems/knee issues etc.). They have hand sanitizer stops every so often so you feel safe, and everyone must wear a mask, which put me at ease. I really enjoyed my visit, a big thank you to all of the staff.
