Eyam Hall is a stunning Jacobean manor house built in 1672, set in the heart of the famous plague village of Eyam. The museum offers a fascinating glimpse into 17th-century life, with period rooms, costumes, and exhibits about the village's heroic self-isolation during the plague. Families will enjoy exploring the historic house, which is filled with original furniture and intriguing stories. Children's activity trails and dressing-up costumes make history fun for younger visitors. The walled garden and courtyard are perfect for a run around, and there is a lovely tea room serving homemade cakes and light lunches. The site also includes a craft centre and gift shop, offering something for everyone.

Practical tips: Allow 1-2 hours for the museum and gardens. Pushchairs are welcome but some areas have stairs. Parking is available in the village car park (pay and display).
