New Mills is a town in the Borough of High Peak, Derbyshire, England, 8 miles (13 km) south-east of Stockport and 13 miles (21 km) from Manchester at the confluence of the River Goyt and Sett. It is close to the border with Cheshire and above the Torrs, a 70 feet (21 m) deep gorge cut through carboniferous sandstone, on the north-western edge of the Peak District National Park.
Two rivers, two railways, a canal, and various roads all converge to form a town on differing levels. Hills rising out to the nearby Peak District surround the central viaducts and bridges.
