Starts with poorer surface but as that improves, the gradient increases substantially. The mid point of the climb is vicious, an unrelenting slog til past a house before a short little steep but again. From there, the gradient finally slackens. Look right for views over the valley, the Denbigh Moors and even over to Eryri. ... read more

Not too many views, little quiet lanes where a few cars go down. Very tight if a car is coming the other way. Nice climb though, steeper in the middle, flattens towards the top. Road surface is perfectly fine
