The Location

Midway between Bakewell and Matlock, Youlgrave is one of the larger villages in the Derbyshire Dales district and its' narrow streets and assortment of old buildings give it much character. Once a centre for lead mining, its' magnificent church with splendid tower reflect the prosperity of those days. It is now a thriving working community with a strong social scene.

Strike off along any of the lanes and paths leading from the Main Street and you will soon find yourself in splendid scenery. Below the village the river Bradford runs through a very attractive dale with fishing weirs and sparklingly clear water. Downstream is the pretty little hamlet of Alport with it's quaint bridge and millponds. A short walk to the north is the lower end of Lathkill Dale and beautiful Conksbury Bridge. The Limestone Way footpath runs through Youlgrave and on either side of the village it traverses some outstandingly scenic countryside. The village enjoys good facilities with shops, a café and three pubs. The property is located approximately 4 miles from Bakewell, 8.7 miles from Matlock and 12.8 miles from Buxton.
