This year we went on the Tuesday after the Bank Holiday and arrived at noon and just got the last space in the car park :-)
It was a beautiful sunny day and the walk to the Town End passed decorations...Little Mermaid design
Plague Cottage, Eyam ...and past the Plague Cottages ( Here the third victim died )
...a closer view of one of the plaques on the Plague CottagesRose Cottage, Eyam
St. Lawrence's Church, Eyam ...the Church...
...and the Eyam Museum ( with the ruins of Bradshaw Hall to the rear )Eyam Museum

It was sad to see that the Eyam Tea Rooms were closed but we hope the proprietors have a happy retirement.
There were still some friendly felines about though :St. Lawrence's Church, Eyam
