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 and the top shallower section (which is lovely) is very tranquil in comparison. There's only one steep but fairly short section... 20% max, the rest is around 10% and the top only around 5%... it's a joy... go on you'll love it!

A very picturesque climb, not too challenging and with a thrilling high-speed descent.

The Cheddar Gorge climb truly is epic. With towing cliffs, feral goats hopping above and ethereal light, it’s wonderful. As others have said, it’s not as hard as you might expect but does last a while. If you’re on a gravel or hybrid bike, you can continue along a gravel trail just before the road turns to national speed limit, which is exceptionally beautiful and continues right to the very tip of the gorge.
