River Goyt

The River Goyt is a river in Derbyshire in north west England. It is one of the source rivers of the River Mersey.

The Goyt rises on the moors of Axe Edge[?], near the River Dane and the Cat and Fiddle Inn[?]. The area is known as the Upper Goyt Valley.

It crosses the old Buxton/Macclesfield road at Derbyshire Bridge which was the old boundary between Derbyshire and Cheshire. Then it reaches an old packhorse bridge which was moved when Errwood Reservoir[?] was built in the 1960s. Further downstream there is another reservoir, the Fernilee Reservoir[?].

The Goyt then passes through Taxal[?], Whaley Bridge[?] and New Mills[?] before joining the River Tame at Stockport[?].
