Dove (River rising miles S W)

a river rising 4 miles S. W. of Buxton, England, and flowing S. and S. E. 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 favorite fishing stream of Izaak Walton, who lived here with his friend, Charles Cotton; and it is still beloved of anglers.
