Walking the towpath from the marina at the top of the lock flight, with a possible diversion to see the Oldknowe Lime Kilns site, then continuing down the series of locks as far as Marple Aqueduct, is always a pleasant experience. Just one road to cross - above Marple railway station - which needs care due to busy traffic. During my last walk, I noticed some extensive remedial work being carried out around locks 8 to 6, which necessitated a well-sign-posted diversion. (December 2023). This will certainly improve the amenity in time for next year's season.

Jogging excellent marple is the place to be when you feel low, music music music is the answering question because its helpful for your life it takes me two & half hours to get back home, its the only thing I've loved having is having plenty of time for my life, to go far out to see lovely marple people across marple different days till I die, of what i love doing the day I began jogging. I love marple every day of my life.

Attractive location on Peak Forest Canal. Nice walking down the tow path. Marple is a pleasant town with good selection of shops and and parks. The Saturday craft and gift market is worth a visit.

Good cycle from Fairfield, Droylsden. You need a torch for the tunnel and pretty fit for a steep decline. A Memorial park with facilities and local shops close by for refreshments.
