This is a bit of a cheat really - I'm majorly reviewing the Snake Pass road(A57 from Sheffield to Glossop) which is one of the most awesome roads to ride a motorbike, or drive a car upon. Beautiful scenery, mixed up with some excellent twisty bits of road. A real challenge, which should be respected - people do have accidents here!
The pub is not far out of Bamford, and is a pleasant enough place to stop for refreshment, or a room. The road runs alongside Derwent Reservoir (where the Dambuster's practised their bombing runs for the attacks on the German dams during WW2) which is a spectacular area for hiking around or mountain biking responsibily. Come up, you will not regret it. read more
