Just a steady climb out of the village. Quite a few parked cars on the side of the road so you may hold up a few cars that are trying to pass, but keep on spinning and you'll be out of there in no time! Nothing crazy to report, not a lung or leg buster.... read more

I have been up here well in excess of 150 times. 140 of those were in one go on an Everesting challenge in 2024. It is not really a steep enough hill for such a challenge - we had to cover over 190 miles to get the height needed - but it ticked all the practicality and safety boxes when doing such a mad endeavor with your teenage daughter. Very good surface, wide B road, passing through a gorgeous sheltered beechwood full of ancient quarry workings. Light traffic. The Painswick Rococo gardens are beside this climb, famed for amazing snowdrops in the woods in early spring. Painswick is a chocolate box Cotswold village. I hate to think how much a house costs there!
