What makes this road special

A spectacular high road in the Yorkshire Dales that links Wensleydale to Swaledale. Jeremy Clarkson described it as 'England's only truly spectacular road' due to its steep drop-offs and roller-coaster elevation changes. The road winds past 20-meter deep limestone potholes (the 'Buttertubs'), demanding respect with its narrow width and fast, flowing corners.
