Here in New Mills lies Torrs Riverside Park and the Millennium Walkway, set about 230 feet (70 m) below the level of the town and surrounding streets. Where the rivers Sett and Goyt come together is the Torrs Gorge, which makes for a beautiful rock-sided canyon that contains old mill ruins, weirs, cobbled ways, and imposing stone bridges. You then also have the spectacular Millennium Walkway, a 524 foot (160 m) long walkway that bridges Torrs Gorge. All in all, it makes for a super scenic all-round setting.
