Rowarth is a hamlet about 2.5 miles (4 km) north of New Mills in the High Peak borough of Derbyshire, England. It is on the edge of the Peak District, in the hills between New Mills and Marple Bridge, within the parish boundary of New Mills.[1]

The hamlet is only accessible by car on one road, and is most commonly used by walkers who are going to nearby Lantern Pike and Kinder Scout.
The Peak District Boundary Walk runs through the village.[4]
There are several listed buildings in and around Rowarth, all at Grade II, the lowest level of designation, and a couple of scheduled monuments:
