Overview
- Set in New Mills about an hour from Manchester, the Millennium Walkway opened Torrs Gorge to pedestrians in 1999 with a steel structure above the River Goyt.
- A recommended 4 km circular route combines the elevated path with woodland trails, canal views, fields, rivers and striking industrial heritage.
- The walkway is accessible, but parts of the wider loop are not pram‑friendly, according to the TikTok account that spotlighted the site.
- Social proof remains strong, with the feature going viral on TikTok and the attraction earning hundreds of five‑star TripAdvisor reviews.
- Visitor tips include a café at the Heritage Centre overlooking waterfalls and parking at Torr Top (postcode SK22 4BS) costing about £2.50 for four hours, a five‑minute walk away.
