Youlgreave

Youlgreave or Youlgrave  listen  is a village in the Derbyshire Peak District, lying on the River Bradford, four kilometres south of Bakewell. Both spellings are used on different local signposts and on different maps. The name possibly derives from "yellow grove" (the ore mined locally being yellow in colour), though historically the village was called "Giolgrave". The village is locally known as "Pommie". The population of the parish in 1991 was 1256; it is one of the largest villages wholly within the Peak District National Park.
