Youlgrave (sometimes spelt Youlgreave) is a substantial White Peak village famous for its well-dressing tradition, sitting directly above Bradford Dale — a beautiful, gentle limestone valley with stepping stones and a series of small weirs. Lathkill Dale is just a short walk to the south.

A characterful and substantial village with a strong community tradition and excellent dale access, Youlgrave makes a fine base for the southern White Peak dales — particularly Bradford Dale, one of the prettiest and most easily walked valleys in the national park.
