Eyam is well worth a visit. Also known as "Plague village" - when black death reached the village in the 1660s, the villagers took the decision to isolate in order to prevent the spread of the disease.

Five things you need to know about the beautiful market town of Bakewell 🏡✨

1️⃣ The town is the birthplace of the famous Bakewell Pudding 🥧 The sweet treat (which is very different to a Bakewell Tart) was invented by accident by a local cook in the 1800s! 👨‍🍳
2️⃣ Jane Austen stayed at the Rutland Arms Hotel whilst writing Pride & Prejudice 📝 and it’s believed she based Mr Darcy’s Pemberley on nearby Chatsworth 👑
3️⃣ The name Bakewell has nothing to do with baking! It means ‘stream or spring of a man named Badeca or Beadeca’ 💦
4️⃣ Bakewell is bursting with history. All Saints Church dates back to 920 and has two Saxon crosses ⛪️ whilst the famous five-arched bridge over the River Wye was built 700 years ago 😮
5️⃣ The town has a wide range of pubs, restaurants and independent shops, a famous farmers’ market packed 🥬, a fascinating museum and great riverside walks 🌿
