Beautiful climb in the Charnwood forest, and a much quieter alternative to the parallel Beacon Hill. Starts as it means to go on, very steady with consisten gradients. Mostly traffic free with a beautiful vista at the top.

Gradual but beautiful ascent through trees and farmland. Nice quiet road, and great views at the top! Worth a detour from the parking area if you have a gravel bike to see Beacon Hill!
