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.

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

A short, fun Grade 3 scramble onto the Kinder Scout plateau. Previous scrambling experience is recommended due to the steep and exposed nature of the route.

Take a break and enjoy the solitude

William Clough is a beautiful walk up to kinder low from Kinder Reservoir. It's a little bit tricky in places if you're not used to hiking, but well worth while.

This is the busiest path I’ve ever experienced in the UK - literally hundreds of people coming up on a good day. Reminds me of the cables of Half Dome, it was that busy. And it’s not easy going; I’d guess a lot of those heading up didn’t make it on to Kinder!

Take care in the wet season and bring good, waterproof boots. The path itself becomes very waterlogged and the rainwater runoff runs down the walking route.
