You wouldn't have much reason to go up this dead end climb now that the Rising Sun pub is no more, unless you're on a gravel bike or MTB, perhaps, and connecting with the nice woodland paths at the top. The climb itself isn't interesting enough to warrant climbing for its own sake. If it wasn't a dead end I might be recommending it, because it's quite nice, and varied.

You wouldn't have much reason to go up this dead end climb now that the Rising Sun pub is no more, unless you're on a gravel bike or MTB, perhaps, and connecting with the nice woodland paths at the top. The climb itself isn't interesting enough to warrant climbing for its own sake. If it wasn't a dead end I might be recommending it, because it's quite nice, and varied. Generally, I only use when connecting by MTB from Cobbler's Hill on one of the bridleways. Those connecting bridleways are definitely not gravel bike territory, by the way, due to the vertiginous descents on rough stony paths from Cobbler's Hill. Dropper posts rule. Back to this one - it's nice enough, but don't make a special journey.
