The road that runs from Buxton to Macclesfield (commonly referred to as The Cat and Fiddle) is a must do for bikers, and has a pub at the top iirc of the same name. But it can be heavily policed in the summer months and has a blanket 50mph speed limit, due to so many riders running out of talent and coming a cropper.
Still worth a visit though imo.
