This road was constructed in 1819 to provide an easier route than Winnats Pass. It crosses the Mam Tor landslips below the main summit, and this has caused problems throughout the roads' history. After a series of road works and subsequent landslips, the road was finally closed and abandoned in 1979. The A625 once again tackles the steep Winnats Pass and the remains of the old attempts buckle and slide slowly downhill.
