    Tips

    March 16, 2020

    Moel Arthur is a cracking climb in the little-known Clwydian Range, a chain of hills in North-East Wales, along the same ridge as Bwlch Penbarras, also named by Simon Warren in his '100 Greatest Cycling Climbs' book.



    The climb totals 1.4 miles (2.3 km) and is named after the ancient Iron Age fort at the summit.



    Reaching gradients of up to 20% from the western ascent, it's certainly not what you'd describe as a steady climb. When you reach the top and stop for a breather it's all made worthwhile, with beautiful views down across the Wirral.
