About the Middleton by Youlgreave Conservation Area
The Middleton by Youlgreave Conservation Area covers about 19 hectares and was designated by Peak District National Park in 1996. Inside the boundary are 26 listed buildings, all Grade II. 15 Tree Preservation Order records overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work.
