A wonderfully rolling gravel climb in the heart of the Balmoral Estate. Whether you're coming from the north or the south, you'll have to climb it several times, but of course, the descent is a bonus. Yet, this route is never truly challenging. The gravel is perfect for gravel bikes, and the empty landscapes are breathtaking.
