The Miners Arms is a historic pub situated in the quaint village of Eyam, Derbyshire, England. This charming establishment boasts a rich history dating back to 1630, making it one of the oldest pubs in the Peak District. Traditionally, it served as a meeting place for lead miners, hence the name. Today, it welcomes guests from all walks of life, providing a warm, inviting atmosphere with its traditional low-beamed ceilings, open fires, and rustic charm. The pub offers a range of locally brewed ales, an extensive wine list, and delicious home-cooked food, combining modern gastronomy with traditional pub fare.
Located in the heart of the historic Eyam village, the Miners Arms is in proximity to several local attractions. The village itself, known as the "Plague Village," is famous for its brave decision to quarantine itself during the outbreak of the bubonic plague in 1665. Visitors can explore the Eyam Museum, which offers a rich narrative of the village's history, and the Eyam Parish Church, dating back to the 13th century. The Plague Cottages, where the plague is believed to have first arrived, are marked with plaques telling the tragic story of the families that lived there.
Beyond Eyam, the pub's location is ideal for exploring the wider Peak District National Park, a paradise for walkers, cyclists, and nature lovers. Close by is the impressive Chatsworth House, a stately home with expansive gardens and parkland. Also, a short drive will take you to the captivating Peveril Castle, overlooking the scenic Hope Valley. Whether you are a history buff, outdoor enthusiast, or simply looking for a tranquil escape, the Miners Arms serves as an excellent base for your Peak District adventure.
