Approximate location — this spot is pinned to the nearest village, so the exact point may be a little way off.
Sixteen locks in a row lift the Peak Forest Canal some 64m out of the Goyt valley at Marple, one of the steeper flights in the country. Walk the towpath down and you also reach the great Marple Aqueduct, striding across the river gorge on tall stone arches — the highest masonry aqueduct in England. Free to walk any time; Rose Hill Marple station is under a kilometre away.
