MoorlandValley
A swooping moorland road between Buxton and Whaley Bridge.
The A5004 'Long Hill' climbs out of Buxton and swoops down to Whaley Bridge across high moorland on the edge of the Peak District, with long views over the Goyt valley. It is a flowing, undulating road; mind the gradients, the cyclists and the quick weather changes near the top.
