About

The area centres around the River Sett as it cuts through the limestone plateau, creating the steep gorge of Torrs. Mill buildings and terraced housing cling to the valley sides, a legacy of the area's industrial past in cotton and paper production.

Paths lead from the town into the surrounding moorland of the Peak District National Park. The Sett Valley Trail follows the old railway line towards Hayfield, a village that serves as a starting point for walks onto Kinder Scout's western edges.
