The picturesque village of Crich stands high "on the hill " from which it was thought to be named . The Crich" Stand " a working lighthouse which can be seen from many directions is a memorial  to the Sherwood Foresters and stands at a height of more than 1000 feet’.

Long range views over the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire countryside can be seen from both the “ Stand “ and the “ Tors “ with views along the Derwent valley. There are many local walks with splendid local views over the Derwent and Amber valleys which help to make the area popular with walkers.
