Alport Derbyshire Map

About Alport

Alport rests in a fold of the Derbyshire Dales, where the land gathers itself into gentle slopes. It lies 3.9 km south of Bakewell (from Bakewell: bearing 174°T, OS grid SK 221 645), and is situated east-north-east of Youlgreave village. Here, the light often softens to a pearly hue, catching the grey stone walls that trace the contours of the fields. The River Lathkill, a ribbon of clear water, murmurs nearby, its presence a constant, cool counterpoint to the sun-warmed earth. The hamlet itself, though small, possesses a quiet solidity, its houses clustered as if for shared warmth against the wide Derbyshire sky. The air here carries the clean scent of damp soil and distant sheep, a fragrance that speaks of generations who have worked this land.
