New Mills sits above The Torrs, a dramatic gorge through which the Rivers Goyt and Sett flow.
In a bend of the Goyt is Torr Vale Mill, a Grade II* listed building.
The Torrs Millennium Walkway, overlooking the mill, was built at a cost of £525,000 (with almost half provided by the Millennium Commission) by Derbyshire County Council's in-house engineers.
The walkway spans the otherwise inaccessible cliff wall above the River Goyt.
Part rises from the riverbed on stilts and part is cantilevered off the railway retaining wall.
It provided the final link in the 225-mile (362 km) Midshires Way (here following the Goyt Way) and was opened in April 2000.

Torrs Hydro is a 2.4-metre-diameter Screw turbine at the Torr Weir on the Goyt.
The "Reverse Archimedean Screw" micro hydroelectric scheme generates 50 kW of electricity.
Nicknamed "Archie", it is owned by the community.
The electricity is supplied to the local Co-operative supermarket and any excess is fed back into the national grid.
