It rises near Edale Cross on Kinder Scout and flows through the villages of Hayfield and Birch Vale to join the River Goyt at New Mills.^[1] The River Goyt is one of the principal tributaries of the River Mersey.

The 2.5-mile Sett Valley Trail follows the trackbed of the former railway line between Hayfield and New Mills.^[2]
