From the River Dart, over the cattle grid and straight up the ramp of tarmac, what the Dartmeet climb lacks in length at 0.6 miles (1km), it more than makes up in gradient!

The climb averages 11%, though measures 15% in some places. The view of Sharp Tor is worth it at the top though, on a good day.

The climb is listed in Simon Warren's '100 Greatest Cycling Climbs'. Good luck!

Approximately 1km climb that will test the legs. Glorious view of sharptor from a carpark at the top though.
