The stone walls of this former mill hold centuries of Peak District stories, and you wake to the sound of birdsong echoing through the valley below the plague village.

Eyam Youth Hostel suits walkers tackling the limestone trails around Eyam Edge, couples after a no-fuss base in the White Peak, and anyone drawn to the dark history of the village that quarantined itself in 1665. You've got camping pods for those who want a solid roof without the full indoor experience, plus hostel beds for when the weather turns. The location puts you right in Derbyshire walking country, with Hathersage, Castleton and Bakewell all within striking distance across moorland and dale.

Facilities aren't detailed in full, so ring ahead to check what's onsite and confirm the dog policy if you're bringing a hound. Campfires are worth asking about on arrival. It's open year-round, which makes it a proper option for winter walkers and off-season explorers after that quiet, stripped-back Peak District atmosphere when the crowds thin out.

Orange Route, Longshaw Estate

National Trust logoNational Trust

Winds through ancient woodland and open moorland on the Longshaw Estate with gentle to moderate gradients. Family-friendly for older children but uneven paths and some modest climbs make it tricky for buggies. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Highlights include millstone edges, heather moorland views across the Peak District, and seasonal bluebells in Padley Gorge woodlands—a National Trust gem combining varied landscapes in an easy half-morning ramble.
