New Road from Porlock

Nice quiet climb, couple of rough bits but mostly good road and very quiet

One of the finest stretches of inclined tarmac in England. The steady gradient means it's a climb anyone can attempt at their own pace whilst being long enough with enough ascent to feel really rewarding. The snaking lane up the bank of Porlock Hill offers constant vistas. It's about as close to an alpine climb as you get in England!

Pleasant, traffic free climb. Much prefer this to the main Porlock route. Toll at the top.

A pleasant climb with some nice scenery, although most of its woodland. It’s not in the league of Porlock Hill, but if you want a long steady climb, almost entirely 5-6％, this is for you.

£1 toll half way up with coins or contactless on mostly good tarmac. The first 3/4 of the climb are in the trees with the occasional view of Porlock Bay. Very little traffic even in summer school holidays as most people drive the A39 Porlock Hill instead. Out of season you will most likely see no one around at all. Amazing climb

Mooie klim vanuit Porlock, zeker als je met volle bepakking fietst en de drukkere en steile Porlock Hill wilt vermijden.
Prachtige weg, mooie haarspeldbochten, maar vooral het hek waar je een pond in een bakje mag doen, is meer dan de moeite waard!
