Disley is a village and civil parish in Cheshire, England.[1][2] It is located on the edge of the Peak District in the Goyt Valley, south of Stockport and close to the county boundary with Derbyshire at New Mills. The population at the 2011 Census was 4,294.[3] To the north, the River Goyt and the Peak Forest Canal, which opened in 1800, pass along the edge of the village. Today, it is a commuter town, retaining a semi-rural character.
The parish includes part of the neighbouring area of Newtown, the bulk of which is in Derbyshire.[4]
