Friends of New Mills Stations, Community Rail Network and High Peak and Hope Valley Community Rail Partnership have published a new booklet of local Circular Walks from New Mills Central Station which you can view, print or download via the links below.
Friends of New Mills Stations want people to visit New Mills by train to explore our wonderful countryside and wildlife, and to enjoy the wonderful shops, cafes, pubs, and other facilities of our friendly community.
This booklet has been created to help you explore all of this. Each of the nine varied walks start and finish at New Mills Central Station. All walks are on rights of way and suitable for most abilities.
After periods of heavy rain parts of the routes may be very muddy and some of the paths are rough, so please dress appropriately, particularly regarding footwear.
Things do change so please tell us at friendsnewmillsstations@gmail.com if you spot any errors or possible improvements for later editions of this booklet. New Mills is served by excellent road and rail services from all over Greater Manchester and South Yorkshire. For railway service timetables please use this link: http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/
