Peak District Pt.1. - Snake Pass and an exceedingly good Tart

Part 1 of our weekend in the Peak District.
After checking into our fantastic AirB&B, we headed off to enjoy the Cat and Fiddle Pass followed by the fantastic Snake Pass.. Then it was time to get our fill of Bakewell Tarts in the scenic town of Bakewell.

Snake Pass is a hill pass in the Derbyshire section of the Peak District, crossing the Pennines between Glossop and the Ladybower Reservoir at Ashopton. The road was engineered by Thomas Telford and opened in 1821. The pass carries the A57 road between Manchester and Sheffield, but it is no longer the main signposted route between those two cities, with traffic instead directed through the Woodhead Pass to the north.
The Cat and Fiddle is a road in England between Buxton, Derbyshire and Macclesfield, Cheshire, named after the Cat and Fiddle Inn public house at its summit. Formed by parts of the A537, A54 and A53, it is famous for its scenic views across the Greater Manchester conurbation, the Peak District National Park and the Cheshire Plain, and for its many bends. It is extremely popular with motorcyclists, and is often classed as the most dangerous road in the United Kingdom.
Bakewell is a market town and civil parish in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England, known for Bakewell pudding. It lies on the River Wye, 15 miles (23 km) south-west of Sheffield. It is the largest settlement and only town within the boundaries of the Peak District National Park.

I was just staying in a similar type AirB&B, basically beds shoved everywhere and Its the perfect type of accommodation for a group of bikers to use as a home base for a weekend riding around the countryside.

The garage was a welcomed bonus too… Piece of mind!! Great place we found and really good price for what it is! In our case there were seven of us but it takes 10 so could have took the price down even more. Where did you go/stay?
