The
River Hipper is a
tributary of the
River Rother in
Derbyshire,
England. Its source is a large expanse of
wetlands, fed by the surrounding moors between
Chatsworth and
Chesterfield, known as the
Hipper Sick on Beeley Moor, which is part of the
Chatsworth Estate. It then passes through
Holymoorside and down into Chesterfield, just south of the town centre, before flowing into the River Rother. In July 2007 parts of Chesterfield flooded when the River Hipper overtopped its banks during a substantial storm that caused extensive flooding in North Derbyshire and South Yorkshire.
