The A54 runs from the A51 at Tarvin to the east of Chester, to the A53 near Buxton, a distance of 42.0 miles (67.6km). It runs through the towns of Winsford, Middlewich, Holmes Chapel and Congleton. It is a primary route west of Congleton, and non-primary east of Congleton, where it enters the Peak District National Park. The Peak District section is twisty and undulating - and it usually features prominently on the list of most dangerous roads in the UK.
