Nice climb at a steady gradient. But if traffic here but not ugly. Pretty good road surface, well worth the detour… enjoy!

Ride this at least once a year, great area in the uk for cycling with Cheddar Gorge nearby all good for some climbing practice. It’s a pleasant climb but can be busy in the weekends
