The Torrs Riverside Park provides access to a dramatic gorge and an area of stunning natural beauty. The Park also contains the remains of what was an important industrial area, with the elegant Millennium Walkway winding its way for 125 yards through the gorge, providing the missing link in the Midshires Way. A 225 miles route from the Trans Pennine Trail in Stockport to the Ridgeway in Buckinghamshire.

FARMERS MARKETS'

 

According to research from farms, households spent 1.5 million pounds last year in Britain's 4,000 farm shops and another 120 million pounds in farmers' markets. Around a third of people have used a farmers' market or food shop in the last 12 months. Demand is so high in many areas of the country, that it is now out pacing supply.
