Exmoor has a spectacular coast with steep cliffs and lots of greenery, this is one of the rare climbs where you can see that. Although you cycle a lot between high bushes, you see occasional glimpses of the blue sea. It is a very narrow road, but I only came across three cars's on the whole climb. Ascent rate is nowhere consistent but doable, asphalt good enough. Absolutely recommended, especially in combination with the Valley of Rocks that lies just east of it. ... read more

Exmoor heeft een spectaculaire kust met steile kliffen en veel groen, dit is een van de zeldzame beklimmingen waar je dat kan zien. Hoewel je veel tussen hoge bosschages fietst zie je af en toe glimpsen van de blauwe zee. Het is een erg smalle weg, maar ik kwam op de hele klim maar drie auto's tegen. Stijgingspercentage is nergens consistent maar wel te doen, asfalt goed genoeg. Absoluut een aanrader, zeker in combinatie met de Valley of Rocks die er net ten oosten van ligt.
