 Peak District National Park: Study Area

The landscape of the Goyt Valley is a mosaic, ranging from the heather and grasses of the moorland pastures, to the woodland and enclosed farmland of the valley.
The hardy hill sheep graze the large areas of moorland throughout the valley in all weathers and contribute to the shaping of the moorland landscape.

 Goyt Valley, alternative walk, Derbyshire Peak District UK
General trend, part two of walk - The journey is from Long Hill until you reach the Goyt Valley Reservoir and remains of Errwood Hall.
From Goyt's Clough it is the only section of the walk where the walker takes footpaths and not roads until Burbage is reached.
The footpath rising in front of you, is quite steep in places as it takes the walker high on up over the rugged moorland landscape.

 The Grimshaws of Errwood Hall
The hall was built in the mid-1800s by a wealthy Grimshawe family from Manchester and was occupied by descendants of the family until 1930.
A stream from Errwood joins the Goyt and the old stone bridge almost touching the water makes a grand picture, but it must have looked so much better years ago when on the bend in the lane by the entrance gates to Errwood stood the charming stone -built cottage with its well-stocked garden.
The proposal of Stockport Corporation to build a reservoir in the valley of the Goyt was very distasteful to her, and at the time it was stated that the worry of that hastened her death.

 Goyt Valley, near Buxton, Derbyshire Peak District UK
Beginning high on the vast bleak heather clad moorland, some two miles or so west of the town of Buxton, the infant river Goyt starts to thread its journey northwards from its catchment area close to the A537 Buxton to Macclesfield road, and within sight of the popular Cat and Fiddle Inn.
Near to the long disused Goyt's Clough Quarry, a little further on and to your right, there is a wonderful opportunity to take a walk down into the gorge and see river Goyt up close.
Round visits by car to take in the Goyt Valley Reservoir, must be made by accessing the valley from the A5004 Buxton to Whaley Bridge road, as the narrow road between Errwood Hall and as far as Goyt's Clough Quarry is one way only.

 rikky.net - your gateway to the slacker lifestyle
Me and Emma had been up to Goyt Valley in Buxton, and because it was foggy as hell up there, naturally I put my foglights on.
We came back home an hour or so later and, while still relatively foggy, left the dual carriageway and noticed a 'hesitant' copper at the roundabout in his patrol car.
I frown and look confused at the copper's lack of knowing where he actually was, and where "Goyt Valley" was, or atleast where he thought it was.

 Recovery of foundation stone from River Goyt
He decided it was now or never and enlisting the help of several friends from Marple's Active Volunteer Initiative Squad, organised the stone's removal from the river.
We met by the weir on the Goyt in Brabyns Park at 10.30 am on Sunday 14 May. The Butler was late, but it turned out he had a good reason.
In a way it is disappointing that it has no relevance to Marple's history, which is what we had hoped when we embarked on the exercise, but nevertheless we still believe it was worth the effort of dragging it out.

The Goyt runs from the Errwood and Fernilee reservoirs, north of Buxton, to Stockport where it joins the Tame to form the Mersey.
The Mersey starts at Stockport, where the Goyt and Tame merge, and runs between high banks through mostly open country until joining the Ship Canal at Carrington.
Unfortunately the Tame is nothing like as clean as the Goyt, and therefore the Mersey is also quite a dirty river.
