If you recall your history lessons, you may remember the village of Eyam, the place where The Black Death took the lives of the majority of Eyam's population yet there are some residents who were seemingly immune to this horrible disease and some from that lineage are still in the village to this day. With tea rooms, craft centre and cafes, Eyam is full of interesting yet sad history. If you venture out of the village following signs to Foolow, you'll reach a quirky and amazing Caribbean restaurant/cafe called Stella's Kitchen. Stella does the cooking herself and her menu is as incredible as she is herself! Booking is recommended as she gets booked up. what3words.com: nests. daffodils. direct

Food scene
A trip to Derbyshire wouldn't be the same without a visit to one of the UKs most well known and loved stately homes. This stunning example of English Baroque architecture is the family home to the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire who open their house to visitors most days of the year. An adventure playground and farm are welcome attractions for the younger visitors and the restaurant and Farm Shop have some of the most gorgeous food in the area, locally sourced, farmed and some even made on the premises.

CARIBBEAN FOOD
This is an absolute favourite of ours not least because the food is INCREDIBLE, but Stella is an amazing lady so full of life. She offers a food delivery service if you don't fancy a campfire 'cook-out'! Reasonably priced, fresh menu and fabulous service.

For The Kids
This is Derbyshire's answer to a mini Alton Towers and for children aged between 5 and 12 I'd say it's a really great day out and well worth the steep hilly inclines once there. This is a terraced theme park with several fast paced thrill rides along with your Pirate Ship, Log Flume and a new Riggers Revenge zip line ride that is way ahead of its time for a small Derbyshire amusement park! Be sure to check out Wowcher or other Voucher schemes as Gullivers very often put family discounts and other offers on at various times throughout the year. Please note that some of the rides are subject to height restrictions. Take a picnic unless you don't mind basic and at best substandard deep fried foods i.e. fries, nuggets etc.

The theme park is one of the most visited in the UK with over 40 rides and attractions to fill your day. Spread out across the grounds of an ancient Iron Age camp, there were actually many different buildings before the existing Towers, but from 1412 until 1924 they all belonged to the same family - the Talbots (Earls of Shrewsbury). The park attractions have been sensitively positioned so as to complement the beauty of the Towers and a great day out for young and old alike. It's worth checking for voucher deals or their website for offers and don't forget the Alton Towers Waterpark which is another day trip in its own right. www.altontowers.com
