Goyt Valley

The colourful Goyt Valley is worth a visit at any time of year. In spring the Rhododendrons around the ruins of Errwood Hall make a fantastic display. In late summer the flowering heather on the moorland brings purple hues to the valley before the burst of autumnal colour from the valley woodland.

Goyt Valley is rich in history and a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Errwood Hall ruins is a particular point of interest for visitors.

The packhorse bridge is temporarily closed to the public.

Unfortunately, over the years, the river flows have washed out the bridge. Over the last year we have been carrying out work because we would like to save the bridge if possible. We have put up signage and there is an alternative crossing point over the river around 500m upstream.

We want to thank visitors for their patience in the meantime and reassure them that we are working through the challenges so that the bridge can be used safely again.
