River Dove, North Yorkshire
- River Dove, North Yorkshire
The River Dove is a river rising at the head of Farndale in North Yorkshire, England, with its drainage basin the moorland of Farndale, Stocksdale, Baysdale, Greenhow and Westerdale. At its upper reaches it is fed by Blakey Gill and West Gill Beck, following the course of Farndale south past Gillamoor and Kirkbymoorside where it is joined by Hodge Beck, which runs through the adjacent valley Bransdale (made up of Sleightholmedale and Kirkdale) to the West. It joins the River Rye in the Vale of Pickering near the village of Salton.Both the River Dove and Hodge Beck are partly swallowed by the local limestone aquifer and issue again further down the valley. During summer months the bed of Hodge Beck often runs dry.
Between Church Houses and Low Mill in Farndale, the River Dove is popular with walkers due to its picturesque setting. The banks of the river are famed for their wild daffodils which are rumoured to have been planted by monks from nearby Rievaulx Abbey.
