New Mills to Whaley Bridge | Bridges and Beer walk
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 лис 2021
- On the edge of the Peak District, not far from Buxton, lies the old industrial town of New Mills. I set off to explore what the town had to offer under the guidance of Adam. After visiting the popular sites of the Tors Riverside Park and Millennium Walkway, we headed for a walk down the Peak Forest Canal to Whaley Bridge. Expect Bridges, Beers, Bookshops and much more in this fun day out exploring local towns.
We used the train to get to and from the towns from Buxton (also easily accessible by rail from Manchester and Sheffield). A great day out to be had making the most of public transport to get around the Peak District. Locations and Map links listed below.

Nice gentle walk along the canal, very accessible
A good walk option for anyone physically less able.
another nice video sat at home on a rainy day.really enjoyed it
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊 Have a great weekend.
The large helicopter model in the warehouse is a chinook, the chinooks saved the town when the dam wall nearly collapsed.
Very good to know, thank you for that 👍
Very rarely see people exploring my town on UA-cam so thank you for the visit!
Thanks for taking the time to watch 😊 New Mills was a cool town 👍 I still feel like there was plenty more to explore
Nice video. Looks like a few good drinking spots too! I don't drive, so rely on trains to get to my hikes (or a lift!) Haha.
Thanks for watching. I normally drive so it was good to make the most of public transport for once (also it means you can enjoy a few drinks along the way 😊)
The view across the valley from New Mills through Furness Vale and onto Whaley Bridge has been described by many as one of the best on the UK canal network, though the road bypass bridge quickly followed by the worlds biggest branches of Tesco and B&Ms at Bridgemont do briefly spoil things.
It is a beautiful part of the country, I never fail to enjoy these views any time I walk here.
Thanks for visiting my home town! If you come next be sure to check out the Art theatres performances, there incredible
Thanks for watching. I need to return a return filming trip for sure. I have actually had quite a lot of suggestions for places I should have gone, that day was a bit unplanned so it would be good to come back and make a video about all these other places too. Thanks again and take care :-)
Any excuse for a few pints 🍻 aye 😎 🤣🤣, great video pal.
100% 🍻 thanks for taking the time to watch 👍 hope you have had a good weekend.
Thanks pal, yes we went up to blackstone low and wibben hill, only 16 to go now.
@@mattroberts3331 great weekend for it 👍🥾
It was indeed hope you had a good one too.
@@mattroberts3331 very pleasant thank you 😊 I even got some more filming done that I hadn’t planned for 👍
Buxton of course had two stations pre-Beeching, three about a century ago, with the direct trains to London, Derby and Nottingham if you caught the five minute one stop shuttle to Miller's Dale.
If you wanted to visit Sheffield it was a twelve minute trip on the now freight only line to Chinley where you'd change trains.
It's a shame we don't have this kind of public transport available to us now in Buxton, being able to hop on a quick train to millers dale would have been great.
I want to visit now!! Honestly looks stunning doesn't it!
Thanks for taking the time to watch 😊 I'm glad it has given some kind off inspiration. Plenty more to see around New Mills the I didn't visit that day also, I would recommend a trip to Torside brewery if that's your kind of thing.
@@ThomTopics thank you! Absolutely adding to my list!
@@BellaDiary Enjoy the trip whenever you plan it. I need to make a return some time soon also
That was great. Looks very interesting! Will have to investigate at some point! Thanks for sharing it! 🤗😍
Thanks for taking the time to watch Shirley 😊 Its a great spot over there, well worth the visit some time 👍
wow.. This is beautiful place to record and share. Thanks for it. Greetings from Dublin! See you soon!
Thanks Francine, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Its well worth the visit should you ever be across here in the Peak District 😊
Another great production mate. More areas of the Peak District that look like they are worth exploring, thanks for sharing!
Thank you once again 😊 Nice to combine a bit of town exploring along with the countryside sometimes. Hope you guys are keeping well. It would be good to meet up in the Peak some time 👍
Love a second hand book shop, you never know what you’re going to find 👍
Me too, they are great places. There used to be one an amazing one I the town where I went to uni. I think I got about 90% of my old mountaineering books and journals from there.
Great place and a good quide video. Loved that book and record shop. A nice walk anytime of the year.. Good thing about train travel, no designated driver and cheeky craft beers as you explore 😁
glad you enjoyed the video Mike, thanks for watching 👍
Some cool places there for sure and you certainly can't beat being able to enjoy some good beers when you know you don't have to drive.
Brilliant video, another places on my list of places to go. Thanks.
Thank you 😊 Its a great place to explore, well worth a visit. Enjoy your trip when you make it out there 👍 Thanks again for watching.
You missed the shepards Arms. Classic pub that one is.
I feel like I only scratched the surface on this visit. I will need to plan a return to cover off what I missed. Thanks for the suggestion, I will be sure to check it out 👍
Checked out New Mills a few years ago after spotting the walkway from the window on the train, nice liitle spot and lots of history and not forgetting the gritstone climbing. 😁 Love a good rummage in an old book shop. 👍😊 Walked looked great. Looks like you both had a good time. Tanny's Travels 🚄
Thanks Tanny. It is a cool little spot and always good to explore somewhere new 😊
Nope, end of the High Peak canal is about a mile (as the crew flies) to the east at Bugsworth Basin in Buxworth. The last half mile or so you walked were a branch dug to connect the canal with the Cromford and High Peak Railway Whaley Bridge terminus.
Ah that's good to know 👍 Thank you for the info. When I made this video I wasn't really putting much planing on research into them, more just head for a day out and see what I ended up seeing. I would love to remake some videos around this area in my 'newer' style with ore planning involved and with higher production quality. Thank you for taking the time to watch all the same. Have a great week.
Well this place looks awesome! Love a good record shop, seems to be where all my money goes 😂🎵🎶
Looks like a nice little loop that, full of history and beauty.
Pub? Pub.
Haha, yes it turned into quite a boozy day unintentionally. It was really fun joining up some towns that I had never been to before with a nice walk and having an explore. Really cool small record shop, I would recommend a visit.
How many beers did you rack up in the end? XD Still not been to New Mills, it's on the list. That walkway looks like a cool spot to hang out :)
I think we were up to about 6 or 7 before we got back to Buxton, I lost track once we went into Seasons 😂
New Mills is really cool, it had been on my list of places to go for ages after seeing lots of photos of the Millennium walkway. Well worth a trip there 👍
We LOVE getting the train but haven't been in one for a while. Its good that you could get a direct train, if we wanted to get the train to and from Buxton I think we'd have to go to Manchester or Sheffield first and then back round. New Mills sort of reminded us of the Mill at Cromford but just with a bridge.
Yeah its a cool spot and very easy to get to from Buxton luckily. Buxton is a bit of a pain to get to on the train unless you are on the Manchester line already unfortunately. Any time you guys fancy visiting Buxton let me know and I can show you some cool local walking spots.
@@ThomTopics will take you up on that at some point 😊
@@LouandLolsTravels Looking forwards to it. Fingers crossed I will actually be able to make it out on wherever you next organised walk is also (not the 20th, the one you organise after that)
How could you miss the Buxton Tap and the Goyt Pub is not Goyt Wines though they are very close to each other
I feel that there is smooch that I missed out on on this day, lots of people have given me plenty of recomendations so I think a remake is on the cards some time soon :-)
You should also check out the Village Kitchen, (just a few yards from The Goyt), on your next visit to Whaley Bridge. Their Full English breakfast is award-winning, and their cakes second to none in the village. They have lots of indoor seating, as well as a deck, and tables in a charming cobbled yard to the rear, beside the river Goyt.
If you like a secondhand bookshop, next time explore the Transhipment Warehouse fully. At the rear and upstairs there is a huge preloved book CD and DVD shop, run by staff who have loads of local knowledge. Once a month the building (and the whole canal basin) hosts an arts and crafts and food and drink market, where you can pick up some of the beers, ciders and gins that you may have sampled at The Nook and The Goyt.
There's also a newly-expanded music and books department in the basement of the Blythe House Hospice shop (next to the town hall).
If it's local history that interests you, pop into Footsteps bookshop and café on Market Street, where you'll find interesting books on the area and chatty local historians gathered under one roof.
If you wait till the summer, developer Mellor Homes which purchased The Jodrell Arms next to the train station has promised to reopen it then as a pub, so maybe you could pop in and see what kinds of locally-sourced beers they'll have on offer.
You could also visit the now world famous Toddbrook reservoir too and see how the repairs to the spillway that made international news in 2019 are coming along. You can access it via Reservoir Road (immediately adjacent to the railway station) or through Memorial Park.
