Trail description
This loop from the main car park in Eyam climbs Edge Road to Mompesson's Well, then returns through the village and out along Riley Lane to the walled Riley Graves. Eyam chose to quarantine itself after plague was discovered there in 1665, led by its rector William Mompesson, and at the Riley Graves Elizabeth Hancock buried her husband and six children in eight days.
