Great climb, not and steady at the start, slightly harder in the middle then ends with gradual climbing into the moors

Begins in the trees but once out onto the moorland the gradient is gradually close to flat where you can enjoy the open sweeping road and the views. Lots of sheep and horses stay close to the road so take care
