River Goyt Aqueduct carries the road from Sumerlease to Bolton over the Peak Forest Canal (Upper) just past the junction with The River Medway.
The Peak Forest Canal (Upper) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1782. Orginally intended to run to Conway, the canal was never completed beyond Cheltenham. "A Very Special Boat" by Arthur Jones describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Tivercester Embankment.

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor), mooring rings or bollards are available. Moorings are on offside, access from one end of footbridge.
There is a small aqueduct or underbridge here which takes a river under the canal.

![Footbridge across the Bugsworth Arm, Derbyshire. This half mile arm off the Upper Peak Forest Canal leads to the historically important Bugsworth Basin. I think the advertising should be a little less slapdash! The moorings and the pub are very good.[[[572168]]] by Roger D Kidd – 06 September 2014](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/04/38/94/4389495_a52242cc_120x120.jpg)
