The old Co-op building in the middle of Youlgreave, above Bradford Dale and a mile from Lathkill. Dogs are only allowed if you take the whole hostel on YHA's Exclusive Hire, and even then not in the bedrooms, on the furniture or in the kitchen, and on a lead in the grounds. For a group with dogs that is a genuinely useful option; for a couple booking a room it is a no.
Photos, a sample menu and prices, any room details and the venue’s own house rules will appear here once the business claims this listing. Until then, what you see above is what we’ve checked and verified ourselves.
Claiming lets you add all of that and reply to reviews in your own name, right underneath them. £12.99 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.
Five and a half miles and about three hours linking two of the clearest rivers in England, with only one real climb out of Bradford Dale and back down to Alport. Park on Alport Lane or Church Street in Youlgreave, both free but tight; there is no car park in the village at all. The dales are part of the Derbyshire Dales National Nature Reserve where livestock graze large areas and dogs are asked to be on the lead, the shallow pools in Bradford Dale are the best dog swimming in the White Peak, and there are stone stiles that a big dog will need help over.
Seven miles and close to four hours across the limestone shelf to the gritstone tors of Robin Hood's Stride, returning by the Bradford valley. Start from roadside parking in Youlgreave; the alternative is the small free pull-in on the lane below Robin Hood's Stride, which holds about eight cars. Field paths cross sheep and cattle pasture almost continuously so a two-metre lead is needed near stock, the packhorse route has steep stone steps at Cratcliffe, and dogs can drink from the Bradford at the end but not on the high ground.
Nobody has written one for YHA Youlgreave. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
