For much of its course, the River Dove runs with one bank in Derbyshire and one in Staffordshire. It follows a meandering course, past Longnor and Hartington and through a series of spectacular limestone gorges, Beresford Dale, Wolfscote Dale, Milldale and Dovedale.
The Dove is most of all a walker’s river, with its tantalising curves unfolding to show steep wooded sites and white rocks carved into fantastic towers, caves and spires.
