98 RIVERS. 



both. The Trent then flows past Rugeley, to the verge of 

 Derbyshire and Leicestershire, where it is joined by the rivers 

 Tame and Meest; passing Burton-on-Trent, it is joined by 

 the Dove ; it then crosses Derbyshire, passing through 

 Donington Park to Sawley, where it is joined by theDerwent 

 and by the Soar, nearer Nottingham ; the river about this 

 town is too much fished to afford any amount of sport ; it 

 then crosses the county of Nottingham in a north-east direc- 

 tion to Newark, whence it flows through part of Lincolnshire, 

 past Gainsborough, and joining the Yorkshire Ouse, the 

 united streams become the Humber. 



The Dove, from its rise in the north-western part of 

 Derbyshire to where it falls into the Trent, forms the boun- 

 dary between that county and Staffordshire. The Trout 

 and Grayling are of fair size, but require very fine fishing. 



The Derwent takes its course past Chatworth, Matlock, 

 and Derby, Mlmg into the Trent. The whole course of this 

 river is about sixty miles. 



The Manifold is also a good Derbyshire river, in which a 

 fair amount of sport may be had with the fly. 



The Yorkshire Ouse rises in the North Riding, and passes 

 Mashani, Ripon, Aldborough to Benningbrough, where it is 

 joined by the Nidd ; thence past York, where it receives the 

 river Ure to Cawood, where it is joined by the Wharfe ; 

 near Hodden, it is joined by the Aire, and below this by 

 the Trent, when it becomes the Humber, and flows into 

 the North Sea. 



The Coquet, North Tyne, Aln and Till are noted rivers in 

 Northumberland ; the three first are good fly-fishing streams 

 but the last is more suitable for spinning. 



The Eden is the principal river in Cumberland and contains 

 some fine Salmon, Trout, &c. 



The Tame rises in the southern part of Staffordshire, and 

 flows near Walsall, past Dray ton Bassett and Tain worth, 

 joining the Trent between Alrewas and Walton-on-Trent. 

 There are few better rivers than this for Pike-fishing ; both 

 Pike and Perch are numerous and large. 



The Stour rises in Kent, flows past Ashford, Canterbury, 

 Minster, and Fordwich, to Sandwich, between which place 

 jmd Ramsgate it falls into the sea.
