DOVE

This article appears in Volume V08, Page 451 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DIO-DRO
DOVE , a river of England, tributary to the Trent, rising in Axe Edge, Derbyshire, and through almost its entire course forming the boundary of that county with Staffordshire. In its upper course it traverses a fine narrow valley, where the limestone hills exhibit many picturesque cliffs, gullies and caves. Dovedale, that part of the valley which lies between Dove Holes and
Thorpe
  Cloud (or with a wider significance between the towns of Hartington and Ashbourne), is especially famous. Below
Thorpe
  Cloud the Dove receives on the west the waters of the Manifold, which, like its tributary the Hamps, and other streams in the limestone
district
 , has part of its course below ground. Near the
village
  of Rocester the Churnet joins the Dove on the west, and then the course of the main stream, hitherto southerly, bends nearly easterly on passing Uttoxeter, and, winding through a widening valley, joins the Trent at Newton Solney, a short distance below Burton-on-Trent. The length of the valley is about 40 M. and the total fall of the river about 1450 ft. The Dove is well known for its trout-fishing, and the portion of the upper valley called Beresford Dale, below Hartington, has a
special
 
interest
  for fishermen through its associations with Izaak Walton and his friend Charles
Cotton
 , whose fishing-
house
  stands near the Pike Pool, a reach of the river with a lofty
rock
  rising from its centre.
