Chrome Hill is a distinctive limestone hill located in the Peak District National Park in Derbyshire, England. It is known for its unique shape, which resembles a giant wedge of cheese, and is a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts.

Standing at a height of 1,385 feet (422 meters) above sea level, Chrome Hill offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, including the neighboring Peak District hills and valleys. The hill is made up of layers of limestone rock, which have been shaped by centuries of erosion to create its steep, angular slopes.

The area surrounding Chrome Hill is rich in wildlife, with rare plants and flowers thriving in the limestone grassland. The hill is also home to a variety of bird species, including peregrine falcons and red grouse.

Visitors to Chrome Hill can enjoy a challenging hike to the summit, where they can take in the breathtaking views and explore the unique rock formations. The hill is easily accessible from the nearby village of Longnor, and is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to experience the natural beauty of the Peak District.
