Wrynose Pass

Wrynose is the shorter, less famous sibling of Hardknott Pass and is every bit as steep, with gradients up to 1 in 4 and tight bends. At the top is the Three Shire Stone, which marks where three old counties met. Take it slowly, give way to oncoming cars and plan to link it with Hardknott and the Roman fort.
