North Stainmore

England

North Stainmore perches on the A66 trans-Pennine route, 4km from Market Brough and the M6 junction. This tiny Cumbrian settlement sits astride Stainmore Pass, serving long-distance traffic between Newcastle and the west coast alongside local routes to surrounding villages. The location marks one of the highest main road crossings in England, where the Roman Watling Street once traversed the fells.
