Padley Gorge is a deep but narrow valley in the Peak District, Derbyshire between the village of Grindleford and the A6187 road.

Although the valley continues up towards Hathersage Road and Burbage, the gorge finishes at the edge of the woodland.

A short distance from the upper section of the gorge is the Fox House, a pub and hotel on the road to Sheffield.

[4] The valley is part of the Yarncliff Wood, Padley Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), designated in 1972 as "the best example of the remnant oak-birch woodland that once covered much of the edges of the gritstone uplands of the Peak District".

[5] Padley Gorge is a popular tourist spot, and as of May 2020[update] has a five-star rating on TripAdvisor.
