A delightful community cafe selling homemade bread,jams, chutneys and marmalades, locally made pies and southern Indian curries, crafts and homemade cakes and biscuits.

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.

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.....

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.

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.
