The route from Sheffield, through Hathersage, continues to Chapel-en-le-Frith.īut what's this? The current map as depicted by Multimap shows no sign of the A625. You can clearly see that the main road through Castleton is called the A625. The above map shows the area around Castleton as is was nearly half a century ago, as recorded in the ever-fascinating AA Book of the Road 1966 edition. Leaving Castleton, the western road used to go over Mam Tor, but after continual collapses and repairs (Mam Tor is called the 'Shivering Mountain' because of its very loose shales) it was eventually abandoned. Browsing the Internet on my mobile telephone one evening, my eyes stopped on the following passage on the Wikipedia entry for Castleton:Ĭastleton used to be on the A625 road from Sheffield to Chapel-en-le-Frith, on the way to Manchester.
