Discussion
As per the title.
On our way back from Rad am Ring we've a good chunk of free time between hotel in Liege and our crossing so we might as well take in some classic Belgian cobbles and Mur.
Obvious choices are the Mur de Huy not far from Liege or to head West and take in the Kapplemur and Koppenberg.
Beyond knowing the climbs from the classics I've no knowledge or experience of riding in Belgium, a point in the right direction or a previously used loop would be appreciated.
More than happy to drive to wherever from liege for a route worthy.

If you go on the ronde van vlaaderen website they have the tour of flander sportif route. ALL the main cobbled climbs are on it. http://www.sport.be/rondevanvlaanderen/2016/en/par...
I was there last summer - some great cycling 
Try parking up on the aptly named Parklaan near Kluisbergen. There's plenty of easy street side parking, a bike shop and lovely little bike-lane-side cafe just to the west on the main road - it's where the RvV hurtles downhill on the main road after the Oude Kwaremont.
The Paterberg and Kwaremont are in very easy reach, the Koppemberg a little to the East, just off the main road, and the cycling museum in the centre of Oudenaarde not too far away either for a nose and a spot of lunch.
Routes are easy to put together in advance - there's an extensive network of paths with numbered junctions, and signs at (and in between) each junction to direct you to whichever junction is next. My route was just a list of numbers and km markers to make sure I kept on track.
