River Derwent, Derbyshire
The Derwent is a river in the county of Derbyshire, England. It 80 km (50 miles) long and is a tributary of the River Trent which it joins south of Derby City.
It rises in the Peak District at Bleaklow[?] east of Glossop and flows through the Upper Derwent Valley with its three reservoirs, the Howden Reservoir, Derwent Reservoir and Ladybower Reservoir. It then passes through Bamford[?], Hathersage[?], Grindleford[?] and Baslow[?], and through the Chatsworth Park estate, and it is joined by the River Wye[?]. After passing through Darley Dale[?], the Derwent reaches Matlock, Derbyshire's administrative centre. It flows past Cromford[?] and through the Crich Chase Nature Reserve.
