Distance 3 miles – Time – approx. 1 hour
Walk 1: New Mills – High Lea – Brookbottom – Hague Bar
Starting and finishing at the Rock Mill Centre behind the bus station, this 3-mile stroll offers a delightful mix of local heritage and green spaces. The route takes you through High Lea Park and along ancient packhorse routes toward Brookbottom and Hague Bar, before returning via Mousley Bottom Nature Reserve and The Torrs Riverside Park. While mostly easy-going, expect short lengths of steep or rough tracks where stout shoes are recommended.
You can collect paper copies of the leaflets from Rock Mill Centre, Rock Mill Lane, New Mills, SK22 3BN
