Youlgrave is a rural ward in the Derbyshire Dales of Derbyshire, England, set on the banks of the River Bradford amid the gritstone valleys of the Peak District. The landscape of steep dales, stone-built houses and old packhorse routes makes it popular with walkers and visitors seeking a quiet base for exploring the national park countryside.
The area has a long history of lead mining and traditional farming, and retains strong community life centred on village pubs, a parish church and annual events such as well dressing. Tourism and small-scale agriculture now underpin the local economy, while conservation designations protect the character and historic features of the settlement and surrounding landscape.
