Bradford Dale is an idyllic wooded gorge that’s full of wildlife. The crystalline River Bradford flows from Middleton by Youlgrave to Alport, where it meets the River Lathkill. Along the way, the river’s course is interrupted by a succession of weirs and pools to encourage trout to breed. These pools are filled with watercress, king cups, reeds and rushes to provide a habitat for birds including the elusive kingfisher.

On the stretch of Bradford Dale underneath Youlgrave, there’s a purpose-built swimming area on the river and expansive meadows for people to stretch out on.
