The Broken Road

The Broken Road
Our short trip to the county of Derbyshire sets us outside the village of Castleton and the Mam Tor ridge of the Peak District.

Up to 1979 this was the A625 road west of Castleton. This section was built on shale and loose ground below Mam Tor, known locally as the 'shivering mountain'.

Landslips occurred causing periodic closures of the road to repair the damage. Eventually it was decided that the road could not be economically repaired and it was permanently closed to traffic.

Enjoy the day.

Yes, a most interesting stretch of road to explore here. Its been unusable for some years now. I suppose man's impact on the landscape is rarely good! Glad it caught your interest.

Cheers. Herb
