Ashbourne to Leek and Buxton.","route-description--enhanced":"
If you are looking for a journey that seamlessly stitches together the rolling charm of the Derbyshire Dales with the wild, rugged beauty of the Staffordshire Moorlands, look no further than D&G Bus Route 108. Connecting two of England\u2019s most picturesque market towns\u2014Ashbourne and Leek\u2014before climbing into the High Peak to reach Buxton, this route is a hidden gem for sightseers.<\/p>\n
Far more than a simple commuter service, the 108 offers a front-row seat to some of the most dramatic landscapes in the Midlands. From the comfort of your window seat, you can witness the scenery shift from gentle limestone valleys to gritstone edges and high-altitude moorland, all without the stress of navigating narrow country lanes yourself.<\/p>\n
The 108 is a route of contrasts. It begins in the elegant, red-brick Georgian streets of Ashbourne<\/a>, often called the \u2018Gateway to the Peak\u2019, and ends in Buxton<\/a>, England\u2019s highest market town and a historic spa resort. But it is the wild “dog-leg” in the middle that truly sets this journey apart.<\/p>\n Rather than taking the direct road, the 108 ventures west into Staffordshire, serving the historic market town of Leek<\/a> and skirting the famous Roaches\u2014a jagged gritstone escarpment that looks like it belongs in a fantasy novel. It also has the distinction of passing through Flash<\/a>, widely recognised as the highest village in Great Britain. This isn’t just a bus ride; it’s a tour of the roof of England.<\/p>\n Leaving the cobbled lanes of Ashbourne<\/a>, the bus crosses the River Dove at Hangingbridge<\/a>. As you head west, the landscape is pastoral and green. You\u2019ll pass through Caltonmoor<\/a> before arriving at Waterhouses<\/a>. This village is a crucial hub for walkers and cyclists, marking the southern trailhead of the Manifold Way, a traffic-free trail following the path of a disused light railway through a limestone canyon.<\/p>\n Continuing through Winkhill<\/a> and the evocatively named Bottom House<\/a>, the route winds towards Bradnop<\/a>. Soon, you arrive in Leek<\/a>, known as the “Queen of the Moorlands”. It\u2019s a bustling town famous for its double sunset (a rare solar phenomenon visible in summer) and its incredible antique shops. It\u2019s the perfect place to hop off for a coffee or to browse the markets.<\/p>\n This is where the drama begins. Departing Leek, the bus heads north towards Blackshaw Moor<\/a>. Look out of the right-hand windows for your first glimpse of The Roaches. These imposing rock formations attract climbers from all over the country.<\/p>\n The bus climbs steeply towards Upper Hulme<\/a>. The scenery here becomes wilder, with heather replacing the green fields. You will then pass through Flash<\/a>. At 1,518 feet above sea level, this village is frequently snowed in during winter, but on a clear day, the views stretch for miles.<\/p>\n Descending from the high moors, the bus travels through Ladmanow<\/a> and the leafy suburb of Burbage<\/a>. Finally, you arrive in Buxton<\/a>. The service terminates centrally, leaving you perfectly placed to explore the Pavilion Gardens, the Georgian Crescent, or the famous Opera House.<\/p>\n The 108 service operates Monday to Saturday<\/strong>.<\/p>\n It is important to note that there is generally no Sunday or Bank Holiday service<\/strong> on this specific route. As this is a rural service connecting market towns, it is designed primarily for daytime travel. The first bus usually leaves Ashbourne in the morning (around breakfast time), with the last return journey from Buxton in the late afternoon.<\/p>\n The 108 is not a high-frequency “turn up and go” city bus; it runs approximately every 2 to 3 hours<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Because of this frequency, it is vital to plan your return journey in advance so you don’t miss the last bus home.<\/p>\n Exploring the Peak District by car can be expensive when you factor in fuel and steep parking charges in tourist hubs like Buxton. The 108 offers excellent value.<\/p>\n For a perfect day out using the 108, start in Ashbourne<\/strong> with a morning coffee. Catch the mid-morning bus and head to Leek<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Spend two hours in Leek exploring the antique shops and grabbing a Staffordshire Oatcake (a local delicacy) for lunch. Hop back on the 108 northbound. As you pass Upper Hulme<\/strong>, enjoy the views of the climbers on the rocks.<\/p>\n Arrive in Buxton<\/strong> in the afternoon. You can fill your water bottle from the free St Ann’s Well (natural thermal water) and take a walk around the Pavilion Gardens. Treat yourself to an early dinner in the town before catching the last bus back, or take the train onward if you are heading north.<\/p>\n While summer offers purple heather and green valleys, the 108 is a spectacular route in autumn and winter. The stark beauty of the Staffordshire Moorlands is atmospheric and moody in the colder months. Seeing The Roaches emerging from the mist is a photographer’s dream. However, due to the high altitude of the route (especially around Flash), snow can occasionally disrupt services in deep winter, so always check the forecast.<\/p>\n","details":[],"open-top":false,"phone":"","url--operator":"","tickets":false,"timetable--url":"","map--url":"","map--image":false,"brochure":false,"photo--featured":false,"photo--listings":false,"factoids-vehicles--bikes__message":" Regular bicycles are not permitted on D&G Bus services.
