The pub is situated 1690 feet above sea level and is the second highest public house in Britain. Many bikers ride the route and stop off at the pub for a drink and food. The pub embraces the biker community.<\/p>\n<p>The most exhilirating ride is between Macclesfield and the Inn, riding uphill with plenty of sharp bends whilst the road between the Inn and Buxton is much more straight and flat with fewer bends. The speed limit along the A537 is 50mph with speed cameras and police enforcing the speed restriction.<br \/>\nI first visited this road around April 2010 and it&#8217;s certainly an exciting ride but be aware that it is a public road and there are other vehicles on it. There are many blind corners where you have to extra careful.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_40\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40\" style=\"width: 333px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-40 \" style=\"margin: 10px;\" title=\"Cat and Fiddle Inn To Buxton\" alt=\"cat-and-fiddle-to-buxton\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shop4biker.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/cat-and-fiddle-to-buxton.jpg\" width=\"333\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shop4biker.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/cat-and-fiddle-to-buxton.jpg 333w, https:\/\/www.shop4biker.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/cat-and-fiddle-to-buxton-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 333px) 100vw, 333px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-40\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Looking towards Buxton from the Cat and Fiddle Inn<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The A537, also known as the Cat and Fiddle Road, runs between Macclesfield and Buxton and has been labelled the most dangerous road in Britain.
