Narrow road and steep climb with a few switch backs which are the steepest parts. Sheltered in the trees and very quiet with regards traffic. Nice climb to do as you get a nice breather rolling along the top to the main road.... read more

Absolute beauty! The switchback is fun and well steep. I like how you get a little break halfway up, plus the traffic is light and generally feels pretty remote aside a few houses. Favourite climb in the Cotswolds for sure.
