Old Coach Road (Macclesfield to Buxton)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This is the old coach road which used to run between Macclesfield and Buxton. It's still clad in its 18th century road surface, so it's pretty easy going on a mountain bike.

The road's been there a lot longer than that, though. It's since been superseded for auto traffic by the A537, which is less steep.
