Hell itself. If you think you are near the top, you’re not. Thus enjoyable.

Out of Sidmouth its continual and the traffic is less fun in the summer. Coming into Sidmouth is glorious and the view from the top over the town is glorious

This is a fantastic climb and the views from the top are phenomenal. The climb out of Sidmouth is extreme with no let up. The other way up, from Otterton, is more gradual and easier but still a challenge.
