Join me for a walk through some of the history of the Industrial Revolution. The route is around 9 miles in length, and we start at New Mills Newtown railway station and finish at Disley station. Initially dropping down to the River Goyt near The Tors below New Mills, we turn left and head along the Goyt before rising up to Brook Bottom and dropping back down to Strines. From here we roughly follow the Manchester to Sheffield railway line and the Goyt into Mellor. Here we get to view Roman Lakes, the old "Roman" packhorse bridge, and the remains of Mellor Mill.
I do try and tell the colourful history of Mellor Mill, Roman Lakes and the entrepreneur Samuel Oldknow, but my lack of research, as usual, leads me astray! I have tried to add corrections into the video where possible!
Our last leg takes us up to the Peak Forest Canal. Here we turn left and head back along to Disley to catch the train home. For a slightly longer circular route, you could continue back to New Mills Newtown station.
