Situated in the Bradford Dale, this quaint straggley village can be a magnet for tourists on fine days particularly at weekends. There is a carpark and some on road parking available, though not encouraged.

Youlgrave`s main road, called Church Street, contains a number of traditional stone built houses and shops. The youth-hostel used to house the former Youlgrave Co-operative society, which played a large part in the survival of the village, supplying credit to families when times were particularly hard. Five main wells are dressed in Yougrave with some smaller ones on the 'Fountain steps'. For more information on Youlgrave see Youlgrave in Derbyshire and the Peak District
