river manifold

The River Manifold is a river in Staffordshire, England. It is a tributary of the River Dove (which also flows through the Peak District forming the boundary between Derbyshire and Staffordshire). The Manifold rises just south of Buxton near Axe Edge, in the White Peak of the Peak District National Park, kown for its limestone beds. It continues for 12 miles before it joins the Dove. For part of its course, it runs underground, from Wetton Mill to Ilam. The Manifold Valley Visitor Centre is housed in Hulme End Station which also has a model of the Leek and Manifold Valley Light Railway. The railway is disused but the track serves as the Manifold Way, a 9 mile long distance footpath from Hulme End to Waterhouses. Villages on the river include Longnor, Hulme End, Waterhouses and Ilam.
