Our accommodation for the weekend is the stunning YHA Youlgreave, Peak District National Park. It is a lovely, quiet accommodation with a sun-drenched front terrace, where you can sit back and watch village life unfold.
The hostel is in fact the former village Co-op, and still retains features pertaining to its past life. It’s set within lovely White Peak walking territory, with the Limestone Way passing through the village. There is a self catering kitchen and Wi-Fi access is available in public areas of the property.
Our accommodation for the trip will be in 4-bed and 6-bed dorms, exclusive to our group.
