About
The River Bradford is a river in the Peak District National Park in Derbyshire. Its source is on Gratton Moor and after passing below Youlgreave it joins the River Lathkill at Alport. A little over 4 miles (7 km) in length, its waters are very clear due to the limestone rock over which it flows, and its course has been widened by a number of weirs which encourage white-throated dippers to breed in the ponds created. The river is owned and managed by the Haddon Estate and is home to brown trout and white-clawed crayfish. The valley is known as Bradford Dale, and the Limestone Way long distance footpath passes through it.
