The River Etherow is a river in the north west of England, and a tributary of the River Mersey.

ource

It rises at Featherbed Moss in the Sheffield district of South Yorkshire, then broadens into the Longdendale Chain of reservoirs in the Peak District National Park.

Course

It emerges again in Tintwistle, Derbyshire, at the foot of Bottoms Reservoir dam, and at Melandra Castle, Gamesley, it is joined by the Glossop Brook (which takes in waters from the Shelf Brook, the HurstBrook and others).

It enters the borough of Tameside at Hollingworth in the foothills of the Pennines. It passes through Stockport and the Etherow Country Park.

Mouth

Finally, it joins the River Goyt. The River Tame also joins the River Goyt, and all three form the River Mersey.
