Description

The Goit is the remains of a millrace that once served a former town corn mill located on Bridge Street. It is now cut off and reduced in size. The structure is probably of medieval origin but was rebuilt in the early 19th century. It features sandstone rubble sides with a paved surround. The millrace is approximately 2 meters wide and 15 meters long. It is included in the listing for its group value.

Local climate

The Goit sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,250 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 93% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 87% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 58 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 97% of listed buildings. Of these, 34 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
