Like cheddar gorge but smaller and less touristy = more enjoyable! You won't get stuck in a traffic jam climbing this one!

One of my favourite hills for descending, super quick and only a little twisty, but watch out as you will can be going a fair bit faster than the cars. Equally it's a great climb, not too steep and a nice consistent gradient.

Look out for the famous 'Rock of Ages' on your right towards the bottom of the climb. It's a cleft in the rock face where an Anglican vicar called Augutus Toplady sheltered from a storm in 1776 and was inspired to write the hymn 'Rock of ages, cleft for me'.
