We are the Biddulph Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
The route starts from Rowarth (free car park), goes over Lantern Pike and down to Birch Vale, follows the Sett Valley Trail to New Mills, goes along the spectacular Millennium Walkway in Torrs Gorge into Mousley Bottom, then leaves the Goyt Valley at Hague Bar and goes over the eastern edge of Mellor Moor back to Rowarth.
There is a nice pub near the finish point, called the Little Mill at Rowarth, which serves a pot of tea for two for a very reasonable £5. They also do food which looks quite good.
One end of Rowarth car park has a sign saying "Resident parking only". We should use the other end, on the right as you drive in.
There are about six stiles.
There are toilets near the halfway point, in the Torr Vale Tap (bar) in New Mills, and near the finish, in the Little Mill Inn at Rowarth.
