From the wild moorland in the north to the magical caves you’ll find in the south, one thing’s for certain - the Peak District is full of stunning places to visit. Among the national park’s natural wonders are dozens of picturesque villages, each one with its hidden gems.
Nestled in the White Peak, around a 90 minute drive from Greater Manchester, is Youlgreave, one of the largest villages in the Peak District. It sits on the hillside above the confluence of the rivers Bradford and Lathkill and overlooks miles upon miles of vibrant green countryside.
When you arrive at Youlgreave you might spot something rather odd - in fact you may find you’ve not arrived in Youlgreave at all. The road signs in the area have different spellings, so depending on what you see you may find yourself in Youlgrave, Youlegreave or Youlgreave.

Throughout the years the village’s spelling has varied significantly, with wild variations such as Zolgreve and Yellegrave even recorded. But its name isn’t the only quirky feature of the village.
Youlgreave is home to the smallest detached house in Great Britain. Thimble Hall is a tiny building where each room is less than 8ft square. Dating back to the 1750s, the house at one point was home to a family of eight.
In 1999 the Grade II listed property made national news when it was sold at auction for £39,500. It attracted bids from all over the world and the illusionist Uri Geller even tried to buy it, but in the end ice cream manufacturer Fredrick’s of Chesterfield had the winning bid. The house was last used as a dwelling in the 1930s and has also been used as an antique shop, butchers and cobblers.
