Hope Mountain Climb

Some steep sections and the road surface is generally poor making it a challenging climb. I prefer to come up from the Hope side (Pentre Lane) of the Mountain as it has a better road surface with passing points for vehicles.

This bike route of 7.3 miles starts from Ffrith and travels over Hope Mountain, one of the first hills on the Welsh side of the North Wales border, near Chester and not far from the Clwydian Range. While there are some steep climbs they are on quiet country lanes, which makes accessing the trails on the hills a little easier. It’s a quiet area with stunning views and some fun riding, so great for a morning or afternoon blast. Some of the trails can be quite muddy in the wet.

A short, sharp climb with a few nice hairpins and gradients up to 27%.
