About

Marple Bridge sits at the meeting point of the River Goyt and the Peak Forest Canal, with its stone bridge and historic weir. The village centre is compact, with independent shops and pubs lining the main road. The area is a gateway to the surrounding countryside, with paths leading directly from the streets into wooded valleys and alongside the canal's flight of locks at Marple.

The neighbouring district of Mellor occupies higher ground, characterised by open moorland and farmland with expansive views. Mellor Church, with its Saxon origins, stands on a prominent hilltop site. The area is known for the archaeological discovery of the Mellor logboat, unearthed from a local hillside and dating back over 3,500 years, linking the landscape to ancient settlement.
