- PEAK DISTRICT WALK FEATURING EYAM, FOOLOW AND BRETTON
"Epidemic of Eyam"
Filmed 5th November 2014
Post-production completed 22nd December 2014
I visit the famous "plague village" of Eyam in the Peak District and do a short circular walk taking in one of the neighbouring villages and a hamlet with a pub providing a spectacular view. I also talk about a minibus trip I organised earlier in the year, which involved stopping at some of these pubs I pass today.
Filmed in the Peak District in the county of Derbyshire. Locations include Eyam, Foolow, Bretton and Mompesson's Well.
Written, researched, directed, camera and sound, edited and music by Patrick Leach.
Any other names credited in this film, i.e. Bob Morgan and Martin Roy, are pseudonyms, which I used at the time of making this film. However, I no longer use these pseudonyms as I want viewers to be clear that my films are completely my own work.

As with all the films I make, this is a mini-movie of my personal journey along the walk, in which I might share some of my own personal stories, and not actually intended to be a guide to the area.

Well I'v turned the tv off and watched these all night and they are superb,each one so informative and entertaining,Patrick is much better at this than any of the presenters on tv.I'v been to many of the places in the films,including Eyam,but when I return it will be all the better and richer for having watched these.Thanks so much Patrick you are a natural at this.
Well I've had a lot of experience in making these films now. Most of them (basically from no.18 onward) I have made over the last five years since I've been living by myself and have the time to make them when I'm not working. Thanks again for such lovely comments Pete and for taking the time to watch. Cheers, Patrick :)
Just discovered your videos after searching for heage windmill where our family is from, your videos are so relaxing and your presenting so natural and professional. Well done for showing our home county so well.
Glad you like them! Thank you so much for your kind comments and for taking the time to watch. All the best 👍
Hi Patrick .. Brilliant Films .. We Love watching every day.. Thank you from Brian and Jenny Lancaster also our Son Ian.. God bless you
Thanks again Brian 👍 Glad you like them and I appreciate your support 😀
Lovely video , my Mum remembers going to Eyam and seeing the history, hanks Patrick for posting.
Nice one Shaun, thanks for watching 👍
I’ve walked round Eyam many times and up to Mompessons Well. So retracing my footsteps here. Thanks for the memory Patrick.I visited Eyam Hall when it was managed by The National Trust and enjoyed the exhibition which I saw in the disused Methodist Chael.
Thanks again Kathryn for taking the time to watch and comment 👍
Lovely countryside around these three places, Patrick. I hadn't known about the hall at Eyam before, but it's an amazing looking old building. In fact the village has got some real character to it, building wise. Obviously renowned for the epidemic of centuries ago, that's why it's such a desired place for historians. You've got some real excellent countryside views from Eyam Edge, and the hillside looks so impressive from the village itself. I bet you did enjoy going around in the mini-bus with friends to those local pubs, and not having to worry about driving yourselves, Good times, eh? Anyhow, many thanks for this, both myself and my Mrs really enjoyed it. Take care.
I think Eyam Hall is closed to the public now. The village is another lovely one though. It's a great walk up to the edge and enjoy a drink at the Barrel Inn whilst you're there. Not done one of those ale minibus trips for some years now, but they were good times. Glad you enjoyed it Ffranc, thanks for watching 👍
What an incredible place. It's overwhelming.... All the individual stories of life and death, all the brave souls not knowing that they play such an important role in our history. Imagine being able to share what we know today about disease. Imagine being able to sit along one of those rockwalls thats been there for hundreds of years, touching the same rockery that another person like me had touched in 1665! Ugh, I could go on and on, thank you for sharing!
Eyam is a pretty village with some very interesting history to it of course. Thanks for watching! :-)
Thank you for the upload.
You're welcome and thank you for watching 😊
Hi Patrick, that was cruel wasn't it. ? No I'm not referring to the Bubonic plague at Eyam ... but you giving me just 20 minutes to watch such a fantastic video. ... Haha :) I couldn't believe how lovely this was though... Superb. That pub called the Barrel looks like it's best to be enjoyed on a week day ? Those views looked lovely from there. .. I'm so glad TH-cam recommended this. Have you ever thought of making extended versions of some of your special videos ? I don't know how hard that would be. Anyway it's much appreciated.. I've saved this in a TH-cam playlist ... well done. David
Haha thank you David. Not been to the Barrel since I filmed this, great place though. Extended versions of my favourite films is a nice idea, but to be honest I'm not looking to create any more work for myself as making these films does take up a lot of my spare time. Thanks for watching and for your kind comments David :)
I think we can take for granted these videos. Yes I remember now, it can take a long time for me to just make a short video. Not easy to perfect either. Many thanks Patrick.
such a great channel. informative and so pleasant to watch
Thank you so much Scarlet 👍
More beautiful scenery to marvel at, and more wonderful music to listen to; your films are a treasure trove of delight.
👍
Nice wander there Patrick. 2014 was a pretty good year weather-wise, hard to believe it was November, looks like a spring day in the video. I was over that way with a pal two weeks ago when we parked at Foolow and walked to Eyam and back but took a detour down to Housley along the A623 and up to Furness quarry before dropping down to Eyam for a pint at the Miners. Not much blue sky though, mainly rain, hail and sleet. ATB Dave.
Thanks again Dave for watching. All the best to you 👍
Lovely start to my day watching this,what a great walk,but the mini bus trip sounds even better !
Thanks Patrick
PS Love what you did with the music again.
Pete.
Those minibus trips are great, did another last summer. Thanks again Pete for watching :)
been here many times, thank you for uploading your walk
Thank you for watching Matty. Cheers, Patrick :)
you are welcome & i have subscribed
Wonderful cinematography and presentation. Many thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for your kind comments! 👍
Many thanks for this. An area we have fond memories of but haven't been able to visit more recently due to the 2020 lockdown..
Looking forward to getting across next year.
Thanks for your comments, yes it's local to me and I can't wait for lockdown to pass us. Many thanks for taking the time to watch :)
Eyam, yet another place I have spent time investigating both physically and historically and which you have captured wonderfully. Paul Beachcroft
This is not far from where I live of course. Thanks again Paul for taking the time to watch all these films :)
@@solitaryrambler Yes, you are in Matlock, so this was on your doorstep. I should spend more time in and around the Peak District...
After watching this film last year , I visited an old book shop in preston called halewoods who collects and sales rare books he sold me a small book on the plaque in eyam , I always thought it was pronounced e- yam didn't realise silent -y - and what a sad tale it was , very much like many tales of plaque which swept the countryside , when I was writing stories for The Haunted North group , last year I again came across a ghost story concerning the vicars wife where she was seen in the church yard in eyam ... proved to be a popular tale ... I am going to try and visit eyam maybe over the next year because I believe ,the museum is great and it would be such a grand place to photograph , so thank you Patrick for sharing this particular tale with us ....Frank and Lee ...
Eyam does have a sad story behind it, but very interesting at the same time. Great village and plenty to see there. There are people who actually live in the Plague Cottages today. Eyam Hall is worth a visit too. I went inside there another time. Hope you do visit Eyam when you can, it's worth coming to see. Thanks Frank and Lee. Cheers, Patrick :-)
