About

New Mills West ward lies on the western edge of the town of New Mills, within the High Peak borough. The area is defined by its dramatic topography, situated where the River Sett and River Goyt meet within deep, wooded gorges. This landscape historically powered the area's mills, with the Torrs Riverside Park now offering paths through the old industrial foundations and along the water.

The ward includes residential streets on the valley slopes and the town's central commercial area along Market Street. The Sett Valley Trail, a former railway line, provides a key traffic-free route for walking and cycling eastwards. The iconic Millennium Walkway, a cantilevered steel path, is fixed directly to the gorge's rock face above the river, connecting the park to the town centre.
