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.

Love the reservoirs at Macclesfield Forest. Great to see the reflections in the water on a calm day.

One of the most noted of the Peak District’s tops. Nestled around Errwood Reservoir it make’s for a nice scenic outing but not the best of weather day’s for it today. As Breeze said, the highest point in Cheshire and a UK designated Marilyn.

Great and easy hike up to Shining Tor from the Cat & Fiddle Car Park. Good footpath over the peaty ground, quite cool to walk on.

It's worth the walk up just to tale in the air and the view

The Park itself first of all started off as part of the “Andrews” estate originating in the 1820’s. At the time it incorporated a mine, a cotton mill and the lake. Later on in 1968 it became one of England’s first country parks, and now attracts over a quarter million visitors a year. They come to enjoy the natural beauty of ancient woodland along the river valley; in the foothills of the Peak District National Park. Mr George Andrew originally built the mill and made the man made lake (Canal). He also required a large workforce for the operation of the mill; so George also built a lot of the houses, along with the Church and School. Also a lot of the street names are named after members of the Andrew’s family. Etherow Country Park has steadily grown over the years, and now covers an area of around 200 acres. It lies at the heart of the Etherow-Goyt Valley, this is also the start of The Goyt Way, which is a 10 mile walk to Whaley Bridge. The River Etherow flows through the park which is the source for the lakes and was originally used as a reservoir to power the water wheel; which in turn provided motorized power for the cotton mill. Later on, they used the canal to transport coal for heating and keeping the cotton dry, via a horse drawn canal barge from further downstream. One of the water wheels (Big Lily) that powered the mill would use 50 million gallons of water per day; which would come down the canal and pass through what is now the car park to drive “Big Lilly”

I bet the views are great here on a clear day

Beautiful views with an interesting toposcope at the summit.

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.

Eccles Pike is an isolated hill three miles to the west of Chapel en le Frith. It consists of gritstone, pink in colour at the summit. While not as prominent as the surrounding hills of Cracken Edge and Combs Moss it is popular with walkers. At 370 metres above sea level, it offers good views of Manchester to the west and the Kinder Scout plateau to the east. Combs reservoir lies just to the south of the hill.

Etherow Country Park is rich in wildlife. The park is home to over 200 species of plants and more than a hundred species of birds have been recorded here. The park has its own nature reserve which is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The reserve is managed solely by Cheshire Wildlife Trust and there is now a short permissive footpath through the SSSI with access to a bird hide overlooking the River Etherow. The wide variety of habitats within the park allow an abundance of wild plants to thrive here. With the exception of mid-winter, plants are easily spotted throughout the year. Look out for flora such as Dog's Mercury, Wood Anemone, Hedge Woundwort and Common Spotted Orchid, among many others. The many areas of woodland in the park provide an ideal home for a variety of wild plants and animals. Etherow Country Park provides ideal hunting territory for a variety of birds of prey. Tawny Owls hunt frequently in the Keg woodlands. Etherow Country Park was once part of the estate of George Andrew, who built Compstall mill in the 1820's. Compstall village was also built by Andrew to house his mill workforce. The waterways which you can see today were also built by Andrew to carry water from the weir on the river to turn the mill wheel, which stood where the car park is today. Andrew was also fond of shooting and fishing and the Keg woods and pool were his own private shooting and fishing grounds. Nowadays these areas are a quiet sanctuary for a variety of wildlife.

There is a lovely pub halfway around the reservoir which makes for a perfect resting spot.

Beautiful location with great Panoramic photo shots available. There is a nice bench seat to sit down on and some big rocks there to take off the edge of any winds. An easy enough hike from Whaley Bridge or Chinley.

One of the UK’s first country parks, Etherow was founded in 1968. It was originated as the Andrews Estate in the 1820s and included a mine, a mill and a mill pond. The park is the start point for the Goyt Way, a 10-mile (16.1 km) route along the Goyt Valley to Whaley Bridge. Today, the park is a local nature reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest. A range of habitats can be found on the 32-acre (12.8 ha) site. Open water, tall fenn, reed swamp, carr and mixed deciduous woodland all provide for the wildlife that make the reserve so vibrant.

Trentabank Reservoir supplies the town of Macclesfield with drinking water. Although a working environment, Trentabank and the conifer forests are a haven for wildlife. The site has more than 20 breeding pairs of herons and is one of the best places to see them in the Peak District. You can also observe birds of prey, red deer and wading birds at certain times of year.

Nice 👍👍
