Please join us for The most interesting and varied walk filled with history and nature. We leave the coach park passing the Hall Hill Troughs as we walk through the top end of Eyam to Housely, taking in the most panoramic scenery of Curbar and White Edge. We walk along a walled track with numerous dry walled enclosed fields as far as the eye can see. The landscape changes becoming industrial as we walk through Cavendish Mill once owned by British Fluorspar Company. We turn towards Black Harry Lane. This lane was the main route to Eyam hundreds of years ago. We enter Coombs Dale where we hope to have lunch and then ascend to exit the dale onto High Street, which is the steepest high street in Britain! We cross over to Cliff Bottom and return to Eyam. We also walk past graves of plague victims on our way to the square.

C John Jones and Ray Webb Eyam “C” Walk 4th May 2025 Eyam - ‘C’ Walk A circular walk that leaves Eyam via Town Head and follows Tideswell Lane almost to Housley. It then continues in a westerly direction passing Brosterfield Farm to Stanley House where it swings north-easterly to Foolow. The route back to Eyam is along a footpath to the north of Tideswell Lane. Given reasonable weather there should be some pleasant views and time at the end to explore the history of the ‘Plague Village.’ Leaders: John Jones and Ray Webb Distance: 5½ miles; Ascent 525 feet
