Youlgreave

Youlgreave or Youlgrave listenⓘ is a village and civil parish in the Peak District of Derbyshire, England, on the River Bradford 2+1⁄2 miles (4.0 km) south of Bakewell.

[9] Three long-distance paths, the Alternative Pennine Way, the Limestone Way and the White Peak Way, pass through the village, swelling the number of walkers.

Youlgreave was mentioned in the Domesday Book as belonging to Henry de Ferrers[10] and being worth sixteen shillings.

It came about when Youlgreave Friendly Society for Women helped to set up a fund to pipe water from Mawstone springs into the village, terminating at the Grade II listed "Conduit Head" of 1829, in Fountain Square.

In 1932 five of six miners working on a ventilation fan at Mawstone Mine were killed after an explosion filled the gallery with carbon monoxide.
