Snakes And Cat'n'Fiddle

Here is a two-for-one recommendation becuase of their close proximity to each other.

At the outset, let me issue a warning. These roads have been classified as two of the most dangerous roads in the world becuase of the number of fatalities. Now, many of these unfortunate deaths are motorcyclists and certain safety measures have been taken in recent years. But, these raods are tricky to drive as they are often wet and there are many adverse cambers with little room for error.

Saying all that, there is no reason you should not enjoy both of these roads as they are made for driving.

The Cat 'n' Fiddle runs between Buxton and Macclesfield. Named after a pub which lies at the summit, it is famous for its great views, its many bends, the number of motorbikes who use it - and just how dangerous it is.

Take the A53 out of Buxton and A54 towards Macclesfield. Then take the A537 turning and enjoy!
