Update on my previous review- it's just had fresh perfect tarmac - very weird as it probably gets 2 cars a day. Anyway enjoy!!

Great climb, bit of a lung-buster if you go too hard, too early.
definitely one of my favourites in the Cotswolds, and on the right day, some superb views across the vale of Evesham,
Early season there can be a fair bit of mud and crud from farm vehicles, but overall the surface is decent.

Hidden gem. Very quiet little back lane with stunning views over your right shoulder to the north. It is not easy and the road was recently re-done so annoying loose chips. That said I loved it.
