Around the corner, views open out across the valley to Marple Bridge and Mellor.
Brick Bridge, just south of Marple
Looking back towards Marple, which has quickly disappeared, to be replaced by a scene of rural tranquility - except for the traffic noise from the road just downhill of the canal.
By the time the canal reaches Rawton Walls or Plucks Bridge, below Marple Ridge, the road has parted company from the canal and peace has returned. Looking north.
Turflea Lift Bridge near Strines. There are three such windlass-operated lift bridges along the Upper Peak Forest Canal, all of which replaced swing bridges.
