Doveridge is a village and civil parish in Derbyshire, United Kingdom, near the border with Staffordshire and about 2 km (1.2 mi) east of Uttoxeter. Its name may come from its having a bridge over the river Dove, a tributary of the River Trent. The civil parish population as taken at the 2011 Census was 1,622.
The nearest watercourse on the river map is the River Dove, about 70 m from the middle of Doveridge's gauges. It flows into the River Trent about 31 km downstream.
A gauge downstream shows water that has already passed this point; one upstream sees it first. Distances along the river are from the point on the River Dove nearest the middle of Doveridge's gauges. From Ordnance Survey’s river map (OS Open Rivers), which leaves out small streams, ditches and culverts, so a nearer one may exist. This describes where water goes on the map; it says nothing about flooding at any address. Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database rights 2026.
Doveridge is monitored by 1 Environment Agency river level station on the River Dove, in Staffordshire. Water levels are updated every 15 minutes, providing real-time flood monitoring for the area.

No recorded flood outline is mapped around the Doveridge town centre means no flood was mapped here, which is not evidence none happened: the Environment Agency mapped only some floods, mapping effort rose sharply after about 2000, and surface-water flooding is largely absent from this record. FloodRadar has separately logged 10 flood warnings or alerts for the Staffordshire area since February 2026. See the flood history link below.
