Trail description

Starting from the Moor Lane car park near Youlgreave, the walk crosses fields to Middleton and follows the crystal clear River Bradford downstream through Bradford Dale. The path runs beside a chain of weirs and ponds below Youlgreave, past a Grade II listed 18th century clapper bridge of limestone slabs, to the hamlet of Alport where the river joins the Lathkill. The Limestone Way also passes through the dale.
