But, I did spend a lot of time stopping, taking photos and absorbing the fantastic views I was blessed with.<br /><br />I hope that gives you an idea of time scales.<br /><br />I intend to return one day, once my leg has fully healed after a motorist mangled my lower right leg. But that won't happen before autumn 2017, by that time I should be walking again.Peak Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645316221553542322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823921419241429099.post-16327791011720544152015-05-25T10:54:13.105-07:002015-05-25T10:54:13.105-07:00There are also the Lydgate Graves in Eyam where Ge...There are also the Lydgate Graves in Eyam where George and Mary Darby are buried, the tomb of Humphrey Merrill, the grave stone of Abel Rowland who lived and died in Eyam Tea Rooms and the Boundary Stone. And in Bretton there are some graves belonging to the Morton, Hall and Townsend Families who died from the Plague and one grave in Bretton Clough. I am going to Eyam and Bretton tomorrow.

The views from the moor are fantastic, over to Stanage, Bamford Moor, Mam Tor and the ridge, Kinder, Bleaklow and even Derwent Edge.Peak Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645316221553542322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823921419241429099.post-68755679581370215032013-11-23T13:50:24.573-08:002013-11-23T13:50:24.573-08:00Another excellent post Mike, I thoroughly enjoyed ...Another excellent post Mike, I thoroughly enjoyed reading that. it has been about 20yrs since I last visited Eyam on a school trip, I think it's about time I returned. thanks for sharing, all the bestAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04126237227128775263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823921419241429099.post-2994186418601948812013-10-16T20:18:49.375-07:002013-10-16T20:18:49.375-07:00Thank you Lee, it was a fabulous day.Thank you Lee, it was a fabulous day.Peak Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645316221553542322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823921419241429099.post-85601686636786130982013-10-16T13:56:18.608-07:002013-10-16T13:56:18.608-07:00A detailed description of a lovely spot in the Pea...A detailed description of a lovely spot in the Peak District.

It's a while since I've been around Eyam and the surrounding areas; looks like you had a nice day.<br /><br />There's a couple of ghost stories associated with both Eyam and Eyam Moor - got them in a book somewhere.......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
