Byway onto Eldon Hill The byway bends to the right shortly, but a bridleway continues straight onto Eldon Hill. These routes stem from former mining activity.

The former A625 at Mam Tor, 1989 Until 1977 this was the A625 across the Peak District, via Mam Tor "The Shivering Mountain". The road was prone to landslips as Mam Tor is made predominantly of shale, and in 1979 it was closed permanently. It continues to slide slowly downhill to this day.
