Location
Hathersage is a popular centre for walkers and rock-climbers, for on its east side the village is overlooked by moorland and a line of gritstone edges of which Stanage Edge is the largest.
Until the late 18th century Hathersage was a small agricultural village with cottage industries making brass buttons and wire. Now the modern village has a range of pubs, hotels and shops including banks, cycle hire shops.
Eyam is one of the best-preserved villages in the vicinity and is the famous 'plague village', which went into voluntary quarantine when the plague was imported from London in 1665. Above the village lies Eyam Moor which is a fine area for walking, with good views across the Derwent valley and many Bronze Age remains and monuments.
