The beautiful open plateau of the Kingsdale Valley. Lovely strip of quiet tarmac which is often empty as the road is gated at the Northern end

Tough road, Toughest at the bottom. It doesn't relent easily, but stick with it & it will succumb to your will.

Tip by

The Coal Road Climb

Highlight • Climb

Magnificently tough from either side, the climb from Garsdale Head station is iconic. The road has been resurfaced in 2017 and is now one of the best quiet stretches in the Cold Dark North.
