Play a round at New Mills Golf Club

The former town prison, now a private house with a quaint 19th-century plaque explaining its curious name.

Probably not worth a special visit, but worth seeking out if visiting the Drunkard's Reform, above: look on the wall at the rear of the Masons Arms car park for a rare and rather interesting early 19th-century stone-engraved advertisement for the pub, with masonic symbols and figures in 19th-century dress.

Over the last two years New Mills Town Council have invested tens of thousands of pounds in many new pieces of play equipment for all ages, from toddlers to pensioners. Visitors have said that where they previously went to Manor Park in Glossop or The Pavilion Gardens in Buxton they would now rather visit High Lea Park. Visitors from Manchester and all other towns en route such as Stockport and Marple have said that it is so easy to get to being so close to Central Station.

The Torrs is at the western end of the Sett Valley Trail, a 2½-mile trail for walkers, cyclists and horse-riders, terminating at Hayfield.

Small museum and exhibition; refreshments and toilets available.

Gritstone gorge containing the Goyt and Sett rivers, several historic mill buildings, Torrs Hydro—a small-scale community hydroelectric power scheme—and the Millennium Walkway, an impressive aerial walkway over the waters of the River Goyt opposite a historic mill building.
