The scenic road Jeremy Clarkson calls 'England's only spectacular' drive.. and is just two hours from Manchester

Buttertubs Pass in the Yorkshire Dales takes you through spectacularly bleak moorlands and past 20m deep limestone potholes where dairy farmers would place their produce while taking a rest in hot weather.

It's also impressed TV star Clarkson, who described the Buttertubs Pass as England's "only spectacular road".
