    Tips

    May 23, 2021

    Don't be put off by reports that the Gorge is too busy or difficult... once you're past the tourist trap at the bottom it quietens down considerably and the hard climbing is relatively short lived (plus you're in jaw-dropping scenery!) Both of these slight inconveniences are worth overcoming for the top section of road, which gentle rises, firstly through beautiful woodlands and then through open fields, both as stunning as the Gorge itself in their own way!
