West coast traffic The route now called the A66 was once 'the winter road' from Scotch Corner to Glasgow, by way of Carlisle. 'The summer road' runs from Barnard Castle, along Teesdale to Alston, then through Brampton to Gretna. Particularly for cattle droving the shorter route was adventitious when passable.
The Summer Road is one of the most spectacular routes in England. - Brunnian (talk) 14:58, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
