Small craggy tunnel, don't know how far this goes into the rock, I assume it's an exploration shaft from the Lead Mining industrial past.

Possibly my favourite cafe in the peaks... Incredible cakes, pastry and coffee. The white mocha is a particularly fave of mine when I'm deep in a ride! Adorable decor and bookcase inside, and some space to leave bikes outside too.

Fabulous yha hostel, friendly, clean, modern and they did an amazing veggie breakfast

Great traditional pub and shops for refuelling

Bloomin' brilliant cafe!! Fab cakes and brill coffee, the savoury items looked awesome too😍

Sheep Dip inscription In late May or June - The farmers brought their sheep - To wash their fleeces - In this deep pool - Burbling, bumbling, bleating - The waters bleat like a flock of sheep it dipped - Dip your ghosts into this hard, cold merky place - Hear their bleat in the water's rush to escape - The foam like wool pulsates - Damp leaves nothing behind but the trees' readiness

The Bakewell tart is delicious. 😋

The church dates from the late 12th century, with 14th-, 15th- and 16th-century elements.

Llamas, no dramas. They're on a stunning back lane with wonderful views, steep climbs and a bit of a rough tarmac surface. Llamas are bigger than frogs

Lovely little quiet lane out of Youlgreave on a designated "Quiet Lane"

Tucked away off the main road through the village, but worth hunting down for the amazing brownies and flapjack. The chocolate coated biscoff flapjack is the perfect cycling fuel!

On the River Bradford, next to the village of Youlgrave, there’s a designated wild swimming spot. It’s been carved out to be deep enough for swimming and is very popular with locals and visitors alike. There are meadows beside the river to sunbathe and relax after having a dip. It can get busy here at popular times, of course.

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.

Perfect place for a cuppa and the homity pies are scrumptious as are the cakes.. outside seating only but well worth the stop. https://peakfeast.co.uk/pies-flans-quiches

Designated swimming area in the River Bradford which has been carved out so it’s deep enough to swim in.

Home-baked cakes, pies, flapjacks. I asked for the flapjack recipe. It's a secret. 😉

Lovely little cafe with out side seating area. Ticks the two most important boxes - coffee and cakes to fuel those rides up and down the dales.

Charming village although very narrow for traffic. Parking wise there is a cat park just on the edge of the village which is well signed. It’s got an honesty box but suggests £3 per day which is reasonable. There are good, clean toilet facilities there too. Start from the YHA in the village and turn left down the hill and it takes you to the Bradford River which has a designated swimming area.

Beautiful village with some good food pubs.
