Torrs Hydro is a testament to the power of local initiative. It's a community-owned hydroelectric scheme that harnesses the River Goyt's energy to generate electricity. An interesting fact is that it revitalises the historic use of the river for power, mirroring the site's industrial past but with a sustainable, modern approach. The site itself is located within the beautiful Torrs Riverside Park, so you can combine your visit with a scenic walk. It is worth trying to view the Archimedes screw (Archie) in operation, to fully appreciate how it works. It reached generating 2,000,000 kWh of energy back in Nov 24. Checking the Torrs Hydro community website before visiting can be a good idea, as they sometimes have open days and events.

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.

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.
