A real gem if you're into Belgian-style cobbles. It's a narrow climb that is under half a mile but super steep - especially at the start. Don't miss the turning from the main road and get a good run up into the climb. Further up you might be lucky enough to ride on a narrow strip of tarmac if there aren't too many parked cars.
Best to avoid in the wet as the cobbles get really slippery (just like they do on the continent).

Fantastic climb, but plan ahead as cobbles and wet leaves do not go with slicks!
