Chrome Hill /ˈkruːm/ is a limestone reef knoll[1] in Derbyshire, England, in the upper Dove valley beside the border with Staffordshire, within the civil parish of Hartington Middle Quarter.
[2] Chrome Hill was declared open access land[3] under the provisions of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000.
Chrome Hill contains good exposures of Gigantoproductus fossils; it is part of a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest[4] which makes it an offence for visitors to remove geological samples.
The phenomenon is visible from Glutton Bridge in good weather for a short period around the summer solstice, when the sun sets just to the southwest of the summit of Chrome Hill, begins to re-emerge almost immediately afterwards from its steep northeastern slope before fully reappearing and later sets for a second and final time at the foot of the hill.
In 2008 the Norwegian jazz quartet Damp changed its name to Chrome Hill.
