Doveridge is a large village and civil parish in the district of Derbyshire Dales in Derbyshire, England, lying close to the county border and the River Dove that gives it its name. It sits amid rolling farmland and is a short drive from the A50, with nearby towns such as Uttoxeter and Ashbourne providing wider services.
Historically agricultural with medieval roots, the village retains a mix of local shops, pubs, a primary school and active community and sports clubs; the site of the former country house Doveridge Hall hints at its gentry past. Today many residents commute to larger centres like Derby or Stoke-on-Trent, while riverside walks and village events help maintain a strong local community spirit.
