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.^[1] It then passes through Holymoorside^[2] and down into Chesterfield, just south of the town centre, before flowing into the River Rother.^[3] In July 2007, parts of Chesterfield flooded when the River Hipper burst its banks during a substantial storm that caused extensive flooding in North Derbyshire and South Yorkshire.^[4] The river burst its banks again after torrential rain in October 2023.^[5] The surrounding landscape is known as the Hipper Valley.^[6]
