About

New Mills West and Furness Vale sit in the Goyt Valley where the rivers Sett and Goyt meet. The Torrs cuts a narrow millstone-grit gorge through New Mills, and a narrow elevated walkway threads beside old mill workings, linking town streets with riverside paths. The town grew around water-powered textile mills and the pattern of bridges, weirs and stone buildings still shapes the centre. Local rail services run from nearby stations, providing regular trains to Manchester and Buxton and supporting weekday commuting as well as access for walkers heading into the valley.

Furness Vale forms a linear village along the valley close to the river and railway, with rows of stone houses and small shops that reflect its industrial origins. Open fields and wooded slopes rise directly from the settlement edge, so footpaths and minor lanes give quick access to the river corridor and upland walks. Community facilities include a village hall and rail links that make the area a practical base for people working in the towns while keeping immediate access to the river and the Torrs.
