About New Mills Town Council

New Mills Town Council have needed to close a section of the Torrs Riverside Park footpath due to a rock fall incident which took place in December last year. The Town Council has made the area safe and has been seeking expert advice on the best way forward to stabilise the rock face and to ensure continued public safety of the many residents and visitors attracted to the area.

The Torrs Riverside Park is a natural gorge running through the centre of New Mills, it is an area enjoyed by walkers, sightseers and climbers alike; it can still be accessed from Hyde Bank Road near the junction with Church Road.

New Mills Town Council will be reviewing its options on the footpath diversion during the term of the closure.
