We parked up in Alport and the first thing we saw was an old phone box with a new lease of life. It now housed a defibrillator. We crossed the road and followed the footpath which lead us to Bradford Dale and the river Bradford. A pleasant walk along the river with lots of wild life to see, then a circular route back through the village of Youlgrave.
