Overview

We start with a short walk through the plague village of Eyam and then follow the moors with extensive views to Hathersage and the hills. We go over Abney Moor to the village of Foolow, and then track down the well-hidden and unmarked but impressive Waterfall Swallet, shortly before returning to Eyam.
