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

Highly recommend this walk in the Peak District - it's a firm favourite. I love the great outdoors and this really is an area of unspoilt natural beauty. Walks for all abilities - simply from the NT car park up to the top of Mam Tor peak to take in the views or to carry on and follow the ridge all along and descend into Castletown for a walk around. It's a stunning walk that I will happily do time and time again!

Using the national trust car park, as a starting point we enjoyed a lovely fine day with great views from the edge an it was a circular walk back along white edge. The scenery an surrounding countryside is stunning with such panoramic views .

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.

The autumn colour in late October was stunning especially against the wet tree trunks due to recent rain. A bonus of choosing to go on a wet day was far fewer people with the same idea. It's such a beautiful place with the babbling brook, ancient twisted trees and moss covered boulders, walls and trees. Parked at Grindleford station and walked up the right hand side of the brook then across the footbridge at the top and down the other side of the brook. Ground was carpeted with leaves and rocks but as they're gritstone they're not slippery when wet like the limestone area can be. Highly recommended in autumn and I would think springtime would be lovely too.

Really stunning views we drove up and down then managed to get parked. We had a really nice walk round and really thought how lucky we are living twenty minutes away from this beautiful place.

We parked at Fairholmes car park which also houses the visitors center, bike hire (not visited), toilets and drinks/food kiosk. We paid £5 to park for the whole day but I think we could have parked in one of the small car parks close by on the road in for free! The money does go towards the upkeep of the area and I think it's good value. We visited the centre - the lady (Karen) was especially friendly and helpful. We then went for 2 walks - one to the West of the reservoirs and one to the East (both found in Norman Taylor's book - see photo). Excellent walks with amazing views after a climb out of the valley and then back down to Derwent and Ladybower to walk back to the car park. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Paths are well marked and maintained. Suitable walks for all ages.

The David Mellor Cutlery Factory, Design Museum, Country Shop and Cafe - all on the same site. Just outside Hathersage in one of the most beautiful areas of Derbyshire, they provide a uniquely stimulating and enjoyable day out in the Peak District National Park.

This is a must if you like good design. David Mellor was a genius designer and some of his innovative work is on display here, excellent shop and museum to browse around. Recommended
10. Eyam Parish Church of St Lawrence
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 252 reviews
A Place, A People and A Passion Eyam is a place of pilgrimage where Christians have worshipped for 1,000 years and is currently the destination of the Peak Pilgrimage walk (please see website). The church building displays the inspirational story of the historical reality of the plague in 1665-66 and a community willingly sacrificing themselves for the sake of others. This continues to motivate the church family that meets in Eyam to this day. It also bears witness to another act of great sacrifice: the Christian message that God so loved his world that he gave his son Jesus Christ to die upon the cross. [Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. (John 15:13)] This is a historic church with much to see. Enjoy the murals of the tribes of Israel, the plague window, the plague register, Mompesson’s pulpit and chair, the Saxon font, sundial, Celtic Cross, graveyard and many other features. Nevertheless Eyam Church is not a museum looking to the past but a living, vibrant and modern worshipping church community where God is active today. It is a church of all ages, looking to serve the God of the Bible on Sundays and during the week. It has a strong commitment to youth work and families; a church with a heart for God and a heart for our community. The church is open daily and has a book and information stall. School trips by prior arrangement.

Eyam is well worth a visit and to get a real appreciation of the history of this unfortunate village please go into this church where you will get a real sense of those dark days! Highly Recommend
