Classic Cotswold climb - short and steep. The action begins as soon as you turn on to it so be prepared. Steepest in the first half with gradients tilting over 15％, easing after the grid but stays at a good ramp. You ride up through a small wood which opens to the common as you near the top and reach The Bear hotel. Road surface is generally good with some cars.... read more

So many steep roads around here. This one actually not too bad. Briefly hits 18％ or so, about a third of the way up. Road is easier after the cattle grid, on your way to the common above. There will be a few cars, but it's a fairly wide road.
