Standing at an elevation of approximately 315 meters (1,033 feet), Calver Peak offers captivating panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

The hill is formed by a mixture of limestone and gritstone, giving it a distinctive appearance. Its slopes are covered in a patchwork of heather, grasses, and scattered shrubs, showcasing the diverse flora of the region. Calver Peak is also home to a variety of wildlife, including rabbits, foxes, and numerous bird species, making it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers.

The hill is surrounded by several charming villages, such as Calver, Eyam, and Baslow, which offer amenities and opportunities for exploration and relaxation. Additionally, the nearby River Derwent meanders through the valley, providing a pleasant setting for walks and picnics.
