Tips

Laura
Totally achievable iconic climb. The whole thing is about 10km but it’s only steep for the first 1.5km or so. There is one really nasty steep hairpin but once you’re past that you’ve nailed it! I’d rather ride up than down. Very busy on summer weekends with cyclists, motorcycles and cars (plus tourist busses) so pick your time wisely. Cars can get aggravated and impatient and it’s difficult to pass.

A gradual and attackable climb with stunning surroundings. A British classic.

Awesome steady climb from village to summit. Not too tough for experienced riders. Enjoy coffee stop in one of the many options before you set off up the hill. Not too much cake though ;)
