River Goyt
river in North West England
The River Goyt is a tributary of the River Mersey in North West England. It starts on the moor near Buxton. It passes through two reservoirs. Then it reaches Whaley Bridge, New Mills (where it is joined by the River Sett) and Marple Bridge. It is joined by the River Etherow, the Goyt joins the River Tame at Stockport, forming the River Mersey.
It may have given its name to goitre, which used to be called Derbyshire Neck.[1]
