Crich sits on a prominent limestone ridge in the district of Amber Valley, Derbyshire, England. Its high point, crowned by the Crich Stand war memorial, gives wide views over the Derwent Valley and the western edges of the Peak District, reflecting a landscape shaped by quarrying and upland farming.
The village is best known for the Crich Tramway Village, a working museum that draws visitors and regular events, and its mix of cottages, pubs and community groups.
