Eyam YHA Peak District October 12, 13 and 14
YHA Eyam. A beautiful and characterful Victorian building in the heart of the Peak District. This location is ideal for long walks and gritstone cragging. Mountain and road bikers will also find this a great location. Unfortunately the YHA now demand all the money up front and will impose a 100% cancellation charge on any cancellation after 13 September – one month before!
