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. The name possibly derives from "yellow grove", the ore mined locally being yellow in colour.[2][3][4][5] The population in 1991 was 1,256;[6] it is one of the largest villages in the Peak District National Park.

The village has three public houses (the George Hotel, Farmyard Inn and Bull's Head Hotel[7]), and a British Legion club.[8]
