Calver Weir was built in the 19th century to provide water to power Calver Mill, a little further down the River Derwent. These days, the Grade II-listed structure is a prominent feature on the river and is home to much wildlife, especially birdlife. In summer, many people swim and paddle in the weir. The section of trail from the weir to Calver is very picturesque and a pleasure to stroll along.
