Amazing piece of road - it's tough in places but thanks to a great surface, always a pleasure.
On a clear day you can see across the valleys and over the Bristol Channel to North Devon.
Probably one of the hidden gems of the area, traffic is also really light.
The descent the other side is insane and very tight in places
