Youlgreave is a picturesque village in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England, sitting in the limestone "White Peak" of the Peak District on the banks of the River Bradford close to the entrance of Lathkill Dale. The village is made up of honey‑coloured stone cottages, a medieval parish church and a conservation area; its riverside setting and classic stepping‑stones make it a popular base for walkers exploring the dales and limestone gorges nearby.
Historically tied to farming and local lead working, Youlgreave now relies largely on tourism alongside agriculture, supported by pubs, a village shop, a primary school and community events such as the traditional well dressings. It retains a strong community spirit and an active programme of local activities, making it both a working village and a draw for visitors seeking countryside character and outdoor recreation.
