About the River Hamps
The River Hamps is a tributary of the River Manifold in Staffordshire. It rises on the moorland near Upper Hulme, flows south through Onecote and Winkhill, then east to Waterhouses, and finally north to meet the Manifold under Beeston Tor. Much of it lies within the Peak District National Park, and the last woodland stretch is part of the National Trust’s South Peak Estate.
The name comes from an old word that means summer dry. In summer the river bed from north of Waterhouses to the Manifold is dry, because the water goes underground and comes back at Hamps Spring, near Ilam.
The Hamps is a small trout stream. Wild brown trout are fished for on it by clubs and by a trust token scheme, and the fishing is fly water.
