Dove

Dove, a river rising 4 miles SW. of Buxton, and flowing south and south-east along the borders of Derbyshire and Staffordshire to the Trent, which it enters at Newton Solney, after a course of 45 miles. It was the favourite fishing stream of Izaak Walton, who lived here with his friend, Charles Cotton; and it is still beloved of anglers. —DOVEDALE is a romantic glen, forming the course of the 'princess of rivers' for 3 miles, between Thorpe Mill and Mill Dale, below Alstonfield. It is hemmed in by fantastic walls of limestone rock, and presents a series of fairy-like combinations of rock and wood and water.
