The Torrs Riverside Park

Highlight • River

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.

Riverside Trails at Mousley Bottom Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

The trails alongside the River Goyt at Mousley Bottom are beautiful and can easily be linked with the Torrs Millenium Walkway. Interestingly, Mousley Bottom Nature Reserve was not always so serene. It used to house a landfill site, gas works and a sewage works.

The Torrs Millennium Walkway

Highlight • Structure

A grand arc of glistening steel above the rushing waters of the River Goyt, the Millennium Walkway is a marvellous addition to any walk. Standing on stilts above the river, it allows walkers to experience the sandstone Torrs Gorge in a way that was previously impossible. It also provides a vital link that was previously missing in the long-distance Midshires Way.

After a walk around the area we enjoyed a great lunch at the Shrub Club. I reccomend the Shrub-a-Dub Pale Ale.
