D03537.  A625 at Mam Tor.
D3537.  This is, or was, the main A625 road near Castleton in Derbyshire.  It ran across the slopes of Mam Tor and was prone to slipping - especially after heavy rain.  Numerous repairs were carried out over the years but eventually, in 1979, fed up with throwing good money after bad, the authorities decided that enough was enough and the road was closed and abandoned.  With care, it can still be negotiated on foot or by bicycle.
