An excellent ride. Great views, constantly changing terrain and technical enough to keep a rider concentrating.

stunning sunset view point

Have to agree with others... plenty to see especially at the weekend & the Navigation pub is good for food & drink...

The small sacred monument, known as the "Mellor Cross," located in a very prominent location here, commemorates the co-founder of the Methodist Church, John Wesley. The search for traces takes us back to the history of the 18th century, as the famous preacher lived from 1703 to 1791. Two short quotations, one from the early period and one from a later period, may give the interested reader a brief insight into the thought world of this unusual man: + "Tell everyone of the love of God, for the world is our church" (1739) + "Do everything for the good of people and creation" (1781)

Bugsworth Basin is a remarkable example of canal restoration. Once a bustling inland port for the Peak Forest Canal, it fell into disrepair but has been lovingly restored by volunteers. Take time to walk along the towpaths and admire the restored wharves, warehouses, and locks. You'll get a real sense of what life was like during the canal's heyday. Look for the remnants of the horse gin, which was used to haul wagons up inclines. The basin was essential for transporting limestone from the quarries in the Peak District. The intricate network of canals and tramways highlights the ingenuity of 18th and 19th-century engineers.

Visiting Mellor Cross offers a rewarding experience, combining breathtaking panoramic views with a touch of local history. While the current cross is a modern replacement, its location holds potential links to early Christian activity. The site's elevated position provides stunning vistas of the Cheshire Plain and Peak District hills, making it ideal for photography, particularly during sunrise or sunset. Remember that the area is exposed, so prepare for windy conditions, and wear suitable footwear for the sometimes steep walk.

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.
