About

The Marple & Hawk Green area sits in the northeast of Stockport, where the urban landscape gives way to the steep, wooded valleys of the River Goyt and its tributaries. The settlement is defined by its position on the slopes above the water, with residential streets following the contours of the land. The area retains a strong industrial heritage, visible in the stone-built mills and workers' cottages that characterise its older quarters.

A key feature is the Marple Aqueduct, which carries the Peak Forest Canal high above the river valley on its substantial stone arches. This engineering landmark is a focal point for the local canal network, with towpaths providing level walking routes through the otherwise hilly terrain. The area functions as a gateway to the surrounding countryside, with paths leading directly into wooded cloughs and towards the higher moorland of the Peak District.
