Innisfree Cottage is situated on the edge of the village on a quiet lane with stunning views. It is within easy walking distance of the museum, church, local pub and tearooms and the famous plague cottages where the outbreak began. On the main street is Eyam Hall built in 1676 open to visitors in the summer months and host to a small craft centre. There are several excellent pubs and restaurants within either walking or driving distance.

Eyam is ideally placed to explore the popular attractions of the area. Chatsworth house is a 15-minute drive and is one of the premier attractions of the area. The house originally built in the mid 16th century is magnificent and has been the setting for several period dramas and films one of the most recent being ‘The Duchess’. The gardens and surrounding parkland are easily accessible and offer long rambling walks along the River Derwent. In addition to the house and gardens are a farm shop, garden centre, gift shops and restaurant.

Bakewell is only 15 minutes away and hosts the traditional Monday farmers market. In a stunning position on the River Wye there is a quaint array of boutique style shops, pubs and restaurants to explore.

The attractive village of Castleton with its show caves, gift shops and Norman castle is within a 30-minute drive. The ‘Blue John’ is famous in the area and is a fluorspar discoloured by blue and yellow impurities and much used in jewellery.

By contrast the nearby spa town of Buxton, cultural capital of the Peak District offers stunning scenery, elegant shops and magnificent architecture.
