great climb, if approaching from the London Road you get a bit of momentum on the approach,

the gradient gets serious quiet quickly and continues pretty much all the way to the top. great views from the top.

Single lane so if a car is coming hope that it stops to let you by or you will struggle to clip in and get going again.

The surface is pretty shocking so take care not to wheel spin and especially take care on the decent

Nice climb, but the surface is a bit rough. Unfortunately you can't continue and take your MTB/gravel on the Solsbury Hill itself as cycling is not allowed there.
