What this means

The River Dove at Stonyford Bridge reads 0.16 m as of 19 Oct 2026, 20:30 BST. There is no published reference for this river yet, so we can't say whether that is high or low for the season.

It has risen 0.05 m over the past 24 hours. In the last month it has stayed between 0.07 m and 0.25 m.

Over the past seven days the change adds up to +0.06 m.

The agency publishes no normal range for this gauge yet, so we show the trend only. How to read levels

Key numbers

Lowest and highest in 30 days: 0.07 m – 0.25 m
Lowest and highest in 12 months: 0.08 m – 0.13 m

Fishing and paddling

Watch the direction of travel. A rising river after rain behaves very differently from one that is dropping and clearing.

Flood alerts and warnings come from the Environment Agency.

About the River Dove

The River Dove is the principal river of the southwestern Peak District, in the Midlands of England, and is around 45 miles (72 km) in length. It rises on Axe Edge Moor near Buxton and flows generally south to its confluence with the River Trent at Newton Solney. From there, its waters reach the North Sea via the Humber Estuary. For almost its entire course it forms the boundary between the counties of Staffordshire and Derbyshire. The river meanders past Longnor and Hartington and cuts through a set of deep limestone gorges, Beresford Dale, Wolfscote Dale, Milldale and Dovedale.

Weather at the gauge

Rain in the last 3 days: 6.0 mm. Rain that falls upstream can take hours or days to show up at a river gauge.
