Bradwell is a village and civil parish in the Derbyshire Peak District of England. The population of the civil parish taken at the 2011 Census was 1,416. It lies south of the main body of the Hope Valley but is usually included among its settlements.
Hazelbadge Hall lies immediately south of the village.
A few Roman remains have been found in the village, associated with the nearby Navio fort at Brough-on-Noe, including a Roman bath. Grey Ditch is a medieval earthwork and a Scheduled Monument. The village grew again in the eighteenth century around lead mining.
As with many Peak District villages, Bradwell has become a settlement for commuters and retirees. The other sources of income are the landmark local cement factory, pubs, B&Bs, an eponymous locally made ice cream, and some subsidised farming. The Bagshaw Cavern former show cave is now only open by appointment.
Climate in this area has mild differences between highs and lows, and there is adequate rainfall year-round. The Köppen Climate Classification subtype for this climate is "Cfb". (Marine West Coast Climate/Oceanic climate).
