When riding in a south-westerly direction (from Beech to Medstead), in about 3 km this road climbs approximately 110 m, which works out around 3.3% and doesn't sound like much.

However, as many other things in life the sting is in the tail: towards the top you'll gain 50 m in elevation in the space of 500 m, a 10% average with a 13% maximum gradient.

Not a super-hard climb, but one where pacing and a decently low bottom gear can pay dividends, especially if you are carrying around some extra weight thanks to those seasonal mince pies ;-)

A long climb but not to hard but it does kick up as you reach the top.
