Jo prepared a packed lunch and we set off for a walk through the Torrs Riverside Park. We started from the canal to head towards the town.

We then walked up the Sett Valley trail to here, where we turned back to return to New Mills for our picnic lunch.

After lunch we walked along the Millennium Walkway and then up to the railway station, before walking around the shops then heading back to the canal.
