Heading into Eakring past the wind turbine and the Mompesson Cross adds a slight hill but reveals expansive views of the fairly flat terrain that surrounds Eaking. The gravel track is a worthwhile route into the small village of just 400 people. It actually had the UK's first commercial oil well but these days it's mainly agriculture. Keep an eye out for the Cross just before you reach the farm and the entrance to Eakring – it's in memory of a reverend who prevented the plague from spreading much further from Eyam.
