The Dirty habbit at the foot of the climb provides refreshing hill accompaniments

One of my favourite climbs in the area (alongside Coldblow Land further west). From corner of Pilgrims Way it is 1km to the top. Becomes prgressivley steeper, the final ramp is around 20% gradient.

Ignore the pubs and go here instead

Beautiful views of the countryside.

Brutal, brutal climb. Took the life out of me once you're 20%+. To make things worse, if you're wanting to stop, its difficult to do so as cars are coming up and down the road. I didn't stop but this isn't for the weak. However, it's largely 5-7 miles of descending afterwards and the climb is only extremely difficult for a short period.

Great views if the weather is good

It is not so common for a Christian place of worship – which encompasses the whole of heaven – to be dedicated to “ALL SAINTS”. Usually it is one (or occasionally two) named saints who hold the patronage of a church – and thus usually also of the parish or town in which it is located. But to find the origin of such a dedication, one has to go far back in history, because the model for this practice of dedication to ALL SAINTS can be seen as a pagan custom, according to which there were already central temples in pre-Christian times that were dedicated to all deities (PANTHEON). The probably most famous Pantheon, formerly a pagan temple and now a Christian place of worship, is located in the Italian capital.
