Creswell - former route of B6042 road
Former B6042 road at the eastern end of the Creswell Crags gorge, viewed from the steps up to Robin Hood's Cave. It became a bridleway in 2007, following the diversion to the north of a 900m length of the B6042. The aim was to minimise the impact of traffic on Creswell Crags (both in terms of vibration damage to the fragile limestone crags and making it a more pleasant environment for visitors to the gorge and associated visitor centre). In the preceding 10-or-so years, the original full-width road had been reduced to a single-lane road controlled by traffic lights at both ends of the gorge.
