A 'quirky' Peak District village is only 90 minutes from Greater Manchester and it's perfect for a day trip

From the wild moorland in the north to the magical caves you’ll find in the south, one thing’s for certain - the Peak District is full of stunning places to visit. Among the national park’s natural wonders are dozens of picturesque villages, each one with its hidden gems.

Nestled in the White Peak, around a 90 minute drive from Greater Manchester, is Youlgreave, one of the largest villages in the Peak District. It sits on the hillside above the confluence of the rivers Bradford and Lathkill and overlooks miles upon miles of vibrant green countryside.

When you arrive at Youlgreave you might spot something rather odd - in fact you may find you’ve not arrived in Youlgreave at all. The road signs in the area have different spellings, so depending on what you see you may find yourself in Youlgrave, Youlegreave or Youlgreave.
