This one is a real peach, a really quiet road that immediately transports you from the somewhat grim industrial valley into quiet forestry, mossy stone walls etc. Tree cover throughout. The road clings to a steep hillside and even has a couple of steep hairpins higher up. It is steep for long time, but never TOO steep! The surface is not great, but far from being terrible. You have a choice of routes near the top, both with a bit more steep stuff (both options are listed on this website - this variant is longer and a bit higher, but peters out on shallow broken road, whereas the other has a more rousing finish on a steep concrete track to houses).
