Crich Chase
Crich Chase
Woodland on the steep side of the valley of the River Derwent. This is designated an SSSI; the designation includes the following comments: “The majority of the site supports an extensive area of ancient semi-natural woodland forming one
of the largest and most structurally diverse semi-natural woodlands remaining in the Derwent
valley of Derbyshire and of interest being on the upland fringes of the Peak District. . . The uppermost slopes of the Chase are characterised by more open woodland stands on thinner
soils, dominated by silver birch with scattered oak and occasionally sycamore and young rowan
Sorbus aucuparia.” This view is a good example of the latter section.
