River Lathkill, Derbyshire
Lathkill Dale is situated 2 miles south west of Bakewell between the villages of Over Haddon, Monyash and Youlgreave.
The valley it forms is one of the finest of the limestone dales in Derbyshire and the upper part is a National Nature Reserve in the care of English Nature.
The River Lathkill rises just below Monyash and flows down to meet the River Wye just below Haddon Hall.
It is a famous trout-fishing river, and Izaak Walton declared it to be the "purest and most transparent stream" he had seen.
