For those that aren’t yet
ready for cycling the fantastic mosaic of country country lanes that Derbyshire (and particularly the White Peak region of the Peak District) has to offer, there are some linear “rail-trails” in the region. Cycle hire is available at many of these, which may help those with either insufficient bicycles for all the family, or with difficulty transporting cycles to the routes. Some of these are completely off-road, (although it should be noted that these are all linear routes at present, effectively doubling the distance required to cycle there and back); most however do have short sections of quieter roads within the route.

Eyam Treasure Trail Explores the historically significant Derbyshire village of Eyam which is known as ‘the plague village’. In 1666 the occupants of the village decided to isolate themselves from the rest of the world when the plague broke out within the village. This act of sacrifice left a legacy which you and your children can explore today.
The Trail is also designed to make learning fun and engaging, with many of the clues on this treasure hunt requiring children to work out what the answer might be – stimulating their desire to learn. At the end, they will have a sense of achievement at having completed a worthwhile task of locating hidden ‘treasure’ (please note, there is no real treasure hidden, merely a fictitious location of treasure on a map).
Eyam Treasure Trail ensures you see everything in the village, with opportunities to stop and explore further as you go. The Trail starts and finishes near the museum, so should you wish to find out more than you already have – you should be able to at the museum. One thing is for real though, children will have great fun, in the outdoors, exploring and seeking the correct answer to a puzzle, all the time learning about an important episode in our history. The village is a very pretty village too.
