Marple Aqueduct is a masonry structure carrying the Peak Forest Canal across the River Goyt in Cheshire. Designed by engineer Benjamin Outram and completed in 1807, it represents an important example of early nineteenth-century canal infrastructure. The aqueduct comprises a single high stone arch spanning the river, allowing narrowboats to pass above while maintaining the canal's water level. It remains a significant monument to the industrial canal-building era and continues to serve its original function as part of the operational canal network.
