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

This scramble was one of the few I've done, it was very fun but tricky in places. There's some big steps to take depending how you find your way up but nothing too bad. It was VERY slippery in the rain but not horrific so extra care is definitely needed, especially in certain sections. I stuck near to the stream for the approach and ended up knee deep in mud/water, watch out!

Didn't scramble on this occasion - frozen solid & iced over

great Scrabble climb, I thought it was harder than a usual climb, only when I got to the top a national trust guide told me this was a grade 1 listed Scrabble climb

The Torrs Riverside Park provides access to a dramatic gorge and an area of stunning natural beauty. The Park also contains the remains of what was an important industrial area, with the elegant Millennium Walkway winding its way for 125 yards through the gorge, providing the missing link in the Midshires Way. A 225 miles route from the Trans Pennine Trail in Stockport to the Ridgeway in Buckinghamshire. Following massive reclamation work the 'Park under the town' has taken over land left derelict by industry and now extends for two miles along the Goyt Valley. Trees have been planted, ponds created and easy access paths have been formed. At the southern end of the park, the 25 acre Goytside Meadows Nature Reserve is open to the public.
