Heywood, the celebrated banker of Manches- 

 ter. From Rocester, all along to Uttoxeter, 

 there is good fishing; but beyond the latter 

 town, we are not sufficiently acquainted with 

 the localities of the river, to justify us in 

 praising any particular parts of it. The fishing 

 from Uttoxeter to the Trent is not, we under- 

 stand, of a decidedly good character. 



The Derwent is a river of great celebrity in 

 Derbyshire. It rises in the Peak, and flows 

 by Hathersage, Chatsworth, Rowsley, below 

 the bridge of which village it receives the 

 Wye. It then flows through Matlock, Crom- 

 ford, Belper, Derby, and joins the Trent near 

 the village of Wilne. The fishing in it is 

 good in the neighbourhood of Rowsley and 

 Matlock, and for seven miles below Matlock- 

 bridge. The flies that are taken in the Dove 

 will kill in the Derwent. 



The Wye> an excellent trout stream, rises 

 among the Axe-edge hills, flows by Buxton 

 and Bakewell, and empties itself into the 

 Derwent below Rowsley-bridge. The fishing 

 in it is of the very first order, particularly 

 from Bakewell to Rowsley, and its course, 

 between those "two places, is amid scenery of 

 the most lovely character. In this respect, it 

 will be enough to mention, that it flows almost 

 at the base of the well-known Haddon-hall.
