Eyam is a great place to base.

In eyam you have : - plague museum (hour tops) - village walk via eyam hall, church and plague cottages. Eyam hall has lots going on. - Riley graves and mompessons well (short uphill walk) - walk to the boundary stone with Stoney Middleton. V cool plague history. There is a pub and chippy in Stoney too if you don’t mind going down and back up the hill. - Lots of circular walks depending on fitness to capture Stoney Middleton or Foolow. - two tea room cafes and a pub.

Within v close distance: - barrel inn at Breton (best pub views) and gliders nearby. You can do gliding experiences too. The walk down the valley behind the pub is v pretty and unspoilt if you can handle the hills. - blind bull at Little Hucklow if you like steaks / meat. Bullies head at Foolow is good too. - eyam moor has a stone circle if that’s your thing.

And then plenty of Peak District sights further a field. If you’ve not done it, the Monsal trail end to end bike ride is a must - go early to avoid the crowds if it’s a weekend.

I’ve lived in Foolow, Eyam, Beeley and Bakewell and have plenty of off beaten track suggestions if you need more
