マンチェスターの峡谷・トップ19

That Birchen Clough Waterfall scramble looks like a fantastic challenge, especially with the detour! It’s the perfect spot for a bit of adventure after a long week. I actually spent my downtime yesterday playing at https://123games.io while planning my next hike, and now I’m definitely adding this Peak District loop to the list!

Leads on to a nasty area if wet ground

Visiting Torrs Riverside Park offers a unique blend of natural beauty and industrial heritage. Explore the Millennium Walkway: This impressive structure is a must-see. Suspended above the gorge, it provides breath-taking views of the Rivers Sett and Goyt. It's a testament to modern engineering within a historic setting, and a great place for memorable photographs. Delve into the Industrial Past: Torrs Riverside Park is steeped in history. The remnants of old mills, weirs, and bridges tell the story of the area's industrial revolution. Keep an eye out for Torr Vale Mill which has shops and Torr Vale tap, and also the working Torrs Hydro community owned hydro electric scheme, which is using the power of the river once again. It is worth noting that the Torrs gorge itself was formed by melting ice at the end of the last Ice Age, adding a layer of geological interest to the location. Consider Accessibility: The park is located within a gorge, so access can be challenging. Be prepared for steep paths and steps. However, there are various access points, and some are more accessible than others.

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.

Watch out for slippy rocks.good foot wear needed on this scramble

Really good fun part of the walk. We took our boys aged 11 and 8 and they loved it. It’s tiring and difficult in some parts - especially the last section up to the plateau.

The Crowden Clough path follows Crowden Brook from Upper Booth up onto the Kinder plateau. The path is rough, rocky and steep. It's a grade 1 scramble in places but all the hard sections can be avoided. It's often wet and the path uses the stream bed in sections. Really good fun either up or down.

The path is pretty much not there. It's very difficult to navigate and I almost lost my shoe to a peat bog so be very careful!
