Eyam Museum tells the story of this famous Derbyshire Dales village, including its experience of plague in 1665-1666 and its wider social history and industrial heritage. It's an independent museum, accredited by Arts Council England, run by a small team of paid staff and many volunteers. The plague story and village history make for a fascinating school visit, and the museum is a great place to begin your visit to the village, the perfect setting for a day out in the Peak District. Opening is Tuesdays to Sundays across much of the year, with Saturdays and Sundays only in late winter, and last entry 15.30. Grindleford station is 2.5 miles away, with 95 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays.
