Marple, Cheshire

Marple is a small town in Cheshire. Marple lies along the border with Derbyshire, here marked by the River Goyt to the east of the town. Marple is notable for its series of 16 canal locks, known as Marple Lock Flight. The Peak Forest Canal skirts the village, north running alongside Marple Memorial Park and Brabyns Park until it reaches the Marple Aqueduct which carries the canal over the River Goyt. The town is within the council area of Stockport.
