*Disley - Walkers Are Welcome
'The Parish of Disley covers an area of about 9 square kilometres (3.5 sq. miles) with a boundary of some 15 kilometres (9.5 miles) in length and altitudes ranging from 107 metre (351 ft.) to 411 metres (1,348 ft.) above sea level.The varied scenery includes the wooded valley of the River Goyt and its tributaries, rough pasture grazed by sheep on higher ground and above this typical Pennine Mooor land punctuated by rocky outcrops of Millstone Grit. There are over 36 kilometres (22 miles) of footpaths, some of them offering gentle rambles, others more strenuous walks. Many of the footpaths are very old while others were established in the 18th and 19th centuries to serve the developing mining, quarrying and textle industries.'
'Disley’s accreditation is recognition of the variety of well-signposted, well-maintained walks in and around Disley and of the breathtaking views they afford. And it enables Disley to be part of a wider campaign to secure better facilities for walkers, the continued maintenance of our public footpaths, the development of way-marked trails and better access to the village by public transport.'
