To say the least, I always leave extra time if I have to go that way to get anywhere and turn up 10-15 minutes early or bang on the time I need to. A lot of Cragrats go via Killinghall or Woodlands to get to Harrogate instead.
If I remember correctly something my dad told me, there was a plan (in the 1930s?) to have a flyover from the top of Starbeck (The Avenue area, I think), over the railway and then above the current road up to The Stray and then cutting across to get to the town centre. Not surprised that they didn't bother, but it would look kind of interesting, all the same.
In one of the better ale and food pubs round here (The Malt Shovel in Brearton), the barman used to give people directions to various places via St. Arbeck. Which was always quite amusing.
