The village was designed to house quarry workers and their families, but some of the original houses have now been demolished. The village has a club (Great Rocks Club), a playground and a primary school.

Great Rocks Dale lies immediately south of the village.

The village previously had a railway station called Peak Forest railway station on the Midland Railway line which closed when passenger services were withdrawn. However the station building survives as offices for the adjacent quarry as does the line through the station, which is now known as the Green Rocks Line.
