Eyam, Historic village in Derbyshire Dales, England.
Located in the Peak District National Park, Eyam features stone cottages, ancient burial grounds, and a 14th-century parish church of St Lawrence.
In 1665, after receiving plague-infected cloth from London, the entire village isolated itself for 14 months to prevent disease spread to neighboring communities.
The village maintains exhibits at Eyam Museum, displaying artifacts and documents that detail the community's response during the 1665 plague outbreak.
Visitors can access two parking areas on Hawkhill Road, with the lower car park providing amenities and the upper section offering free parking spaces.
Scientific studies of Eyam descendants revealed genetic mutations that provided natural resistance to the plague, contributing to medical research understanding.
