The A5004 was originally the A6 over Long Hill between Buxton and Whaley Bridge.
It now leaves the A53 in Buxton up Manchester Road. This climbs at first steeply then more intermittently to open countryside and the summit of Long Hill at 427m. A minor road to the Goyt Valley leaves at this point.
Then follows the descent in a very winding fashion . Through the hamlet of Fernilee to Traffic Lights at Horwich End. Traffic Lights here where the B5470 crosses.
Transit of Whaley Bridge follows and the road is at a roundabout where he A6 is joined.
