    Tips

    March 26, 2025

    Road cycling

    Ditchling Beacon is a classic South Downs climb, rising from the village of Ditchling with an average gradient of 9% and ramps hitting 16%. The smooth, well-maintained road winds through the countryside, offering you stunning views along the way. Cresting the summit rewards you with panoramic views and a well-earned descent towards Brighton.
    Good challenge to test increasing gradients and managing sharp turns. Good fun when you get to the top of the cling and enjoy the views.
