Magical wild swimming spot a short walk from the hostel

July 1st 2025

A short stroll from Youlgreave Hostel will take you to Bradford Dale and an enchanting safe wild swimming spot. Looking like a purpose built swimming pool in this picturesque Derbyshire dale, it was built by the local farmers in former times to dip thier sheep in. No longer used for sheep, the clear waters within the stone surrounds provide a wonderfully safe place for wild swimmers. The water is normally around 70cm deep depending on rainfall.

Fame for Youlgreave Hostel

July 19th 2023

Colin Trigg, the new owner of Youlgreave Hostel has been in the news recently. He has been interviewed on Radio 4’s World at One (13 July) and BBC Breakfast (14 July). Why’s that you may ask? Well, he is a shining example of someone who has taken the plunge and bought a former YHA hostel.

This iconic hostel, housed in the village’s old Co-Op store, has undergone an extensive contemporary upgrade.  Part of the ground floor has been converted in to an artisan bakery & cafe, which to our knowledge makes it the only hostel in the country with an on-site craft bakery.  What a treat to wake up the the smell of freshly baked bread!

While continuing an association with the YHA via a franchise scheme, Youlgreave Hostel has now joined the ranks of the 320+ independent hostels in our network.

If you fancy exploring the wonderful Peak District, Youlgreave  Hostel is in a prime position.  Don’t delay, with all this publicity, rooms are sure to get booked up real fast.
