Why is A666 Road famous?

Tucked away in the central part of the country, the road is commonly known as The Devil's Road. “666” symbolizes ‘the mark of the beast,’ a prophesied anti-Christ. The Bible, Revelation 13:18, states: "Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666." This Satanic connotation, combined with its high accident rate on the moors between Egerton and Darwen, convinced some people that the highway was cursed.
