Walk 1861 - Chrome and Parkhouse Hills from Earl Sterndale
| Nat Park | Peak District | | County/Area | Derbyshire | | Author | Lou Johnson | | Length | 5.0 miles / 8.1 km | | Ascent | 1500 feet / 455 metres | | Grade | easy/moderate |

This Derbyshire walk includes two outstanding hills of the Peak District. Lying just north of the infant River Dove these two remnants of a coral reef provide excellent walking with the benefit of great views. Chrome Hill has, for a long time, been a popular ascent. On the other hand, until the CROW Act provided improved access to the hills and countryside, Parkhouse Hill was always defended by “No Access” signs and was only climbed by those who wanted to defy the landowner’s request.
