Bradwell is a village in the Derbyshire Peak District of England. It lies south of the main body of the Hope Valley, but is usually included among its settlements.
Hazelbadge Hall[1] lies immediately south of the village.
History
A few Roman remains have been found in the village, associated with the nearby Navio[2] fort at Brough-on-Noe, including a Roman bath. Grey Ditch is a medieval earthwork.[3] The village grew again in the eighteenth century around lead mining.
Economy
As with many Peak District villages, Bradwell has become a settlement for commuters and retirees.[citation needed] The other sources of income are the landmark local cement factory, pubs, B&Bs, an eponymous locally made ice cream,[4] and some subsidised farming. The Bagshaw Cavern former show cave is now only open by appointment.[5]

- Samuel Fox, umbrella frame designer, was born here in 1815.
