Step straight out into some of the most spectacular scenery in the Dark Peak from The Yorkshire Bridge Inn, just a short stroll from Ladybower Reservoir. Whether you're staying overnight or calling in after a day outdoors, the inn is brilliantly positioned for exploring the reservoirs, hills and dramatic gritstone landscapes of the Upper Derwent Valley.

For a great local adventure, follow the Bamford and Ladybower Reservoir Walk, a 4.6-mile circular route that passes right by the Yorkshire Bridge Inn and crosses the Ladybower dam wall. If you're looking for something more challenging, climb Win Hill or Bamford Edge for magnificent views across Ladybower and the Hope Valley, or head deeper into the Upper Derwent Valley towards Derwent and Howden reservoirs.

Cyclists have plenty to explore too, with routes around Ladybower, Derwent and Howden reservoirs and mountain biking opportunities throughout the Upper Derwent Valley. Further afield, Hathersage, Castleton and the wider Hope Valley are all within easy reach, while Stanage Edge offers another spectacular destination for walking and climbing.
