Bamford is a village in the Peak District, Derbyshire, England, close to the River Derwent.

Nearby Hope Valley College offers Yoga classes at Bamford Village Institute as part of its adult education programme.

The following Wednesday hosts the Senior fell race which many runners attend, including running groups from Yorkshire.

Other events included the junior fell race, teen group challenge, car treasure hunt, pet show, village history fair and pub quiz.

The procession travelled from "the old road" and paraded through the village, ending at the recreation ground, where games and entertainment for the whole family were arranged.

The carnival parade encouraged children to dress up and floats to be made, fitting with the theme of the year.

The village is served by Bamford railway station on the Hope Valley line and by regular bus service 257 to Sheffield and Bakewell.

From 1782, a water powered corn mill was built here by a local farmer and miller, Christopher Kirk.

[11] A more modern horizontal cross-compound mill engine with a rope drive, Edna, by Musgrave was installed in 1907, and remains on site today.

Nearby are the villages of Shatton, Bradwell (well known for its ice cream), Hope, Hathersage (well known for its open air swimming pool), Eyam and Castleton, famous for its Blue John stone.

The nearest urban centre is Sheffield and is a very popular place to visit for the youth of Bamford and well as Chesterfield which is where many students go for higher education.
