Calver Sough is a small village located in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England. Situated in the picturesque Peak District National Park, it lies on the banks of the River Derwent and is surrounded by stunning natural beauty.

Historically, Calver Sough was a significant lead mining area during the 18th and 19th centuries, with numerous mines and smelting works operating in the vicinity. The name "sough" refers to the underground drainage channels used in the mining industry to remove water from the mineshaft. These channels can still be seen today, serving as a reminder of the village's industrial past.

Today, Calver Sough is a charming and peaceful village, known for its idyllic countryside and quaint stone cottages. It offers a range of amenities for residents and visitors alike, including a village shop, a pub, and a primary school. The village is also home to several small businesses, including craft shops and a garden center.

Outdoor enthusiasts are drawn to Calver Sough due to its proximity to the Peak District's vast network of walking trails, cycling routes, and climbing spots. The nearby Chatsworth House, one of Britain's most renowned stately homes, is a popular attraction for tourists.

Overall, Calver Sough is a delightful village that seamlessly blends its rich industrial heritage with its natural beauty, making it an appealing destination for both history buffs and nature lovers.

Crossroads in Calver A lot of people will only know Calver from these crossroads, as the A623 passes through, and the A625 turns off. There is a village green here, with more on the opposite side, but the village has quieter and more attractive bits.
