    Tips

    August 4, 2020

    Proclaimed as one of the UK’s toughest and most magnificent stretches of tarmac, complete with stunning scenery and the greatest amount of ascent of any British road

      August 9, 2021

      Best enjoyed with sun or high clouds, otherwise you won't have much of a view. And if you're going 'round the whole peninsula, save some gas in the tank for the latter half as the hills don't really stop, they just get smaller.

        August 10, 2022

        Starting from near sea-level it rises 626m in 9.1km of uphill – reaching 20% at its steepest gradient. If you wanted to do an ‘everesting’ challenge, it would only take 14.1 times to climb the 8,848m.
        One of the most beautiful climbs in Britain – if not one of the hardest.
