Interesting village not far from Buxton where the villagers self isolated to prevent the plague from spreading to other villages. Specifically the museum is excellent along with the church that has 120,000 visitors a year. Lunch at the miner's arms is recommended with locally brewed beers.

This was a wonderful hidden gem. Weather was too hot for our planned walk and this place was air conditioned. But inside was a superb display on the history of plague around the world and the story of the 1665 plague in Eyam. Good activities provided for children. 2 well produced videos to watch. We spent a good hour in there without getting bored.
Highly recommended, one of the best small museums I've visited.

Really good experience. Had kids activities. Free parking available and also located near a children's play ground with a BMX pump track.

A great little museum to start our day off in Eyam. £5 for an adult ticket. £1 for a map of Eyam which was great for our then 8 mile walk! The volunteers were very attentive and informative. Gift shop was fab.. purchased some local honey!!

Its really good, tells the story of the Plague and how the people of Eyam took drastic steps to halt the spread of the Bubonic Plague better known as The Black Death.

Lovely little museum which is great value for money. Interesting and informative exhibits and stories of the local families which tie in really well with the plaques found around the village itself. Although we just visited the museum, they do also offer a guided tour of the village as well for a very reasonable price.

First visit her today. Educational for the children. Both had a quiz to do on the walk round.
They offer guided tours but we opted to walk round our selves.
£11 for a family ticket. Wasn't as big as I thought it would be but worth a look with plenty to read.
We would visit again.
Nice little bit of history to read and see from the surrounding cottages and a couple of pubs and cafe for a bite to eat or a drink. ;p
