Great place to have a wander or ride your bike and learn about the areas industrial past. The views would have been very different not so long ago and certainly not as nice as the ones today.

Cloudside Climb

Highlight • Climb

Cloudside might sound like a lovely name for a road, but it's a tough little berg from either side! Not the longest or steepest in the area but you'll know about it. Great views and a good surface though.
