C822 is a sealed east-west route in northern Tasmania, linking the township of Lilydale with a number of small hamlets to the west. It is still popular tourist route, although a significant former tourist destination - Lalla Woolshed - closed several years ago. A small number of vineyards are still located at the western end of the route.
