Overview

A walk with Terry, the walk is fairly easy for the most part, with some "tricky" bits, we descend into Bradford Dale following a loop to Alport. A good view of the confluence of the rivers Bradford / Lathkill. We then walk along a farm track towards Over Haddon (not to!) cutting back to Conksbury Bridge and taking the river Lathkill returning to Youlgreave. There is a nice Bakery Cafe available on the way to the carpark.
