A tough little climb that is quite steep at the bottom, and you can't carry much speed into it because the downhill gradient from the north west is shallow. However the gradient rolls off as you go, and once you're over the worst of it you can focus on increasing speed. It's hedges all the way, so don't expect many views, but it's worth a detour, and that back road between Winslow and Whitchurch is a lot quieter than the main A413 anyway.
