SK2065 : Weir, River Lathkill
taken 9 years ago, near to Over Haddon, Derbyshire, England
Weir, River Lathkill
In times of high rainfall the source of the river is Lathkill Head Cave, but in normal conditions the river rises from springs slightly further down the valley, close to the village of Monyash, west of Bakewell, and flows generally eastward past the village of Over Haddon and through the village of Alport (where it is joined by the River Bradford) until it meets the River Wye near Rowsley. Roughly six and a half miles from source to outfall, it is the only river in the district that flows over limestone for its entire length.
The river valley, known as Lathkill Dale, is popular with tourists who visit to enjoy its natural beauty and wildlife.
