A Walk from Youlgreave

The walk begins at Holywell Lane, down the lane almost to the bottom and over the stile to the river Bradford,
head left to follow the footpath along Bradford Dale until you reach a stone bridge crossing the water.
Ignore the bridge and continue ahead along the obvious footpath still following the river. Follow the path until you reach the road that enters
the village at Alport. Cross directly over and follow the path ahead.
The river (now the Lathkil) is still with you some yards to your right. Eventually you will meet a stone/gravel track just past an old house on your left. Continue ahead at this point and in a few minutes time you will reach a 'B' road. Turn right here and continue down to Conksbury bridge. Immediately beyond the bridge turn left onto a path that follows the
Lathkil River.
In a few minutes you reach a large white house and garden and just ahead a stone bridge over which a path veers sharply left and uphill into the woods. Follow this path as it climbs deep into the wood, round a sharp
bend and up again to reach the gate at the top. T urn sharp left and follow the grass path over to the farm in front of you.
Cross straight over the farmyard and over a stone stile in the wall.
Continue straight ahead and up the steep grass hill keeping the dry stone wall close to your left hand side. Very soon you reach a wall at a minor road. Turn right here and immediately left at the footpath sign.
Continue straight ahead, down first and then up across the field path with a large single tree on your right.
Just ahead you will arrive at a walled lane and a few minutes further along you meet a minor road with Youlgrave
and its church now clearly visible to your left. Turn left at this juncture and walk down to the village, passing a few cottages,
you will then arrive at the road that runs through the village.
