Not as hard or as busy as I thought it would be... and I went on a sunny Saturday in May! The bottom is tourist heaven or hell depending on your point of view, it gets quieter when you get to the serious stuff in the middle and the top shallower section (which is lovely) is very tranquil in comparison. There's only one steep and fairly sort section... 20% max, the rest is around 10% and the top only around 5%... it's a joy... go on you'll love it!

The descent of Cheddar Gorge is one of the easiest bits of any ride, but is just reward for making it up there in the first place.
