Calders stands on the classic Howgills ridge from Sedbergh to The Calf, reached by a steep, stony climb beside a fence from the dip of Rowantree Grains. It is only a metre or so lower than The Calf, a short walk to the north, and a cairn marks the top.

Rock & Ground
Like the rest of the Howgills, it is built of old Palaeozoic sandstones, siltstones and mudstones rather than the limestone found across most of the Dales.
