Launceston from Saint Stephens Hill, 2007 The valley between St Stephens and the centre of Launceston is very steep and would keep you fit if you had to walk it every day. The road down this hill has become inadequate for the volume of traffic it has to take so through traffic going downhill has been diverted to another route leaving just uphill traffic in low gear.
