Windy Bottom (aka Roman) Bridge
The packhorse bridge across the river Goyt in Barlow Wood was constructed in the 1700s. Until at least the 1860s it was known as Windy Bottom Bridge but was later given the more romantic name of Roman Bridge.

River Goyt (provided by David Dixon)

The Goyt rises on the moors of Axe Edge, near the Cat and Fiddle Inn. It runs from the Errwood and Fernilee reservoirs, north of Buxton to Stockport where it joins the River Tame Link to form the Mersey.

It is also fed by the River Etherow which flows from the Woodhead reservoirs and joins near Marple Bridge, the River Sett which joins at New Mills and Todd Brook which joins at Horwich End.
