New Mills sits in the steep-sided valley where the River Goyt meets the River Sett, on the western edge of the Peak District in the High Peak district of Derbyshire. The town is famed for the dramatic sandstone ravine known as the Torrs, crossed by the Millennium Walkway, and for riverside relics such as Torr Vale Mill; the former industrial landscape now provides striking walking routes like the Sett Valley Trail to Hayfield.
Historically built on water-powered cotton and textile mills, New Mills retains a strong community vibe with independent shops, an active arts scene and the long-running New Mills Festival, while many residents commute to Manchester and Stockport. Good rail links via New Mills Central and New Mills Newtown, attractive scenery and outdoor activities make it a mix of heritage, local industry and a popular base for walkers.
