Overview

From New Mills Central we head for New Mills Newtown and onwards via Bollinhurst Bridge to Lyme Park. We then leave the park at West Parkgate and take a path around the perimeter towards Sponds Hill (ascent optional). We then go via New House Farm and The Dipping Stone to Furniss Vale before returning via the Peak Forest Canal to New Mills.
