CALVER: Derbyshire Dales Parish #26 of 109

Calver – “Calf Ridge”

Alright folks, here we go again in the Derbyshire Dales, and for the second episode in a row, we’re on the A623. A mile or so away from Stoney Middleton where we were last time out, is the beautiful little village of Calver, on the banks of the River Derwent. Its located on the border between the White Peak and the Dark Peak and is surrounded by the most beautiful Dales scenery.

Calver, whose name is a reference to calves which once occupied this area, is an ancient village, with origins going back to prehistoric times. Although all one village, Calver can be split into three distinct sections. These are Calver Bridge, Calver Sough, and the old main village itself, sort of between the two. Calver Bridge is positioned on the Derwent, where a beautiful 18th Century bridge crosses the water at a hugely historic Mill. Today the area has a busy craft centre and gift shop, an art gallery and a pub – although the latter is actually in Curbar.

Calver Sough has most of the village’s amenities including a general store, a café, a pub and a petrol station, as well as the most delightful little sweet shop, popular in the summertime when the kids are off school. The historic main core is well worth checking out, if only for the commemorative lamp right in the heart of it all.

I love Calver, and here I’m going to show you why!
