Suffolk has twenty rivers worthy of the name. The River Waveney and the River Little Ouse form the boundary between Norfolk and Suffolk. The River Stour does the same for Suffolk and Essex. The Alde, the Blyth, the Deben and the Orwell are the main rivers and the others are tributaries or affluents of these. Among the names of these are the Gipping, the Box, the Lark, the Dove, the Snail and the Rat.
Other rivers and tributaries are the Minsmere, Fromus, Mill, Ore, Chad, Fynn, Kirton Creek, and Shottisham Creek, Belstead Brook, the Black Bourne, Eriswell Lode, Polstead Stream and Hol Brook. Edited by Adrian S. Pye
The Dove rises in several minor streams in and around the parish of Bacton in Suffolk coming together near Finningham. It flows round the north of Finningham and east, by Wickham Street, Stoke Ash and Thorndon before turning north to pass east of Eye. In Oakley Park it is joined by Gold Brook which originates at Redlingfield and another branch from Horham. The river then passes beneath Red Bridge, before emptying into the River Waveney at The Crotch.
