Chrome Hill Elevation c. 425 m (c. 1394 ft) Location Location Peak District, England Topo map OS Landranger 119 OS grid SK070673 Chrome /ˈkruːm/ Hill is a limestone reef knoll[1] on the Derbyshire side of the upper Dove valley. It is adjacent to the more distinctive but lower Parkhouse Hill.
Chrome Hill was declared open access land[2] under the provisions of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000. However, the only access from the North West remains along a concessionary footpath. Chrome Hill contains good exposures of Gigantoproductus fossils; it is part of a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest[3] and visitors are asked not to remove geological samples.
Chrome Hill has had songs written in its honour by the Norwegian musicians Sigurd Hole (Chrome Hill[4]) and Jonas Howden Sjøvaag (Up on Chrome Hill[5]). In 2008 the Norwegian jazz quartet Damp changed its name to Chrome Hill.
