a ramp of 18 per cent comes after 800m as the road bends left before another kick of 12 per cent at the mile mark. The road gently eases off over the summit with a series of cruel false flats; this one is tough. You can turn right at the top and head for Broadway tower and nearby cafes or turn left to drop back toward mickleton and stratford upon avon for a fun high speed respite from the climb.

Yet another beautiful and challenging climb up the 'edge' of the Cotswolds. High double digit %, so measure your effort. Once at the top, it's smooth rolling to Broadway Tower.

There is a nice church on the right, about 1/3 up, in case an excuse for a stop is required :).
