I loved this climb. The scenery is stunning g and the switch back feels very European and the hills around you make the whole experience one of delight. Once you've got the steepest part out of the way at the beginning, it's then just a stealthy climb to take you further out. If you make it to Elkstone there is a perfect cafe stop at Knead Cafe.

A lovely secluded climb hidden in a valley high in the Cotswolds. Beautiful scenery, steep gradients and a lovely twisty road. Difficult to get to due to having to descend a similar climb to get into the valley, but definitely worth it.
