"Took a look at the house where I wrote Back To The Old House, Still Ill, Pretty Girls Make Graves, Reel Around The Fountain and This Charming Man."
The Marple Bridge is a beautiful village that is a perfect base for those looking to enjoy the great outdoors.
It is home to the Peak Forest Canal, Marple Locks and the Roman Lakes.
The Peak Forest Canal is a perfect place to enjoy a relaxing walk or to spend time in nature.
"The Peak Forest Canal is one of Britain’s most scenic waterways, running through magnificent landscape to the edge of the Peak District," Canal River Trust stated.
"For much of its length, the canal runs alongside the pretty River Goyt.
"Both the canal and the river are havens for plants and wildlife.
"The nature reserve of Goytside Meadows is home to a stunning variety of wild flowers."
