Select your easiest gear and try and hold traction up this steep cobbled hill. Make it to the top and a cafe full of people will be clapping. Or just push and enjoy your surroundings.

The ancient cobbles of super steep Gold Hill in Shaftesbury is famous for its starring role in the popular 1970s advert for Hovis bread. In the advert, a boy pushes his bike to the top of the hill to deliver a loaf of bread before freewheeling back down. But the real challenge is pedalling all the way to the top - the views, cafe and kudos are well worth the effort!
