A solid climb, that’s steeper the further up one gets. The toll at the bottom reduces vehicular traffic, so there’s only the occasional car, but the road is spacious. Not much scenery, although the village at the bottom is nice, and there’s a war memorial halfway. A decent climb all round.... read more

She’s steep. She’s unforgiving. But one of the best climbs in and around Henley/Reading. Up there with Kopp Hill, Britwell hill, Watlington Hill. Maybe harder than all of the above. But not too long! It’s scarier going down than up. 4/5
