If you are looking to dive down into the valley below as I do frequently then this road together with Painswick Road is the most enjoyable. Birdlip Hill is your other unadvised option with a man hole cover on the apex of the bend that always makes me wish I'd worn more absorbent pants

Careful on the golf course, stay to the edges. Fantastic views over Gloucester and stroud. If you want an express route down take Stockley and enjoy rocketing into Upton st. Leonards.

Parking at Daisy bank Road at the bottom is a good place to start. Be aware of MTB trails in the woods!

Lovely gravel track connecting Welsh Way to Daglingworth via Quarry

Harder than I thought it would be (having previously descended it) and I still knew it was going to be hard. Once the steep stuff starts it doesn't stop... for a long way! There are a couple of very brief shallower sections on which it's a goods idea to make some use of... a few calmer breaths, then go again. The little pinch at the very top is torturous... but you're not giving up there!

Harder than I imagined it would be. There are a couple of places where the gradient relents very briefly, it's a good idea to make use of them as the rest of the climb keeps coming at you and slowly getting steeper. The little pinch at the end is a bit torturous... but if you've made it that far you ain't gonna give up there!

View over the Severn from Painswick Beacon - you can see May Hill and even further.

Great views and hence, usually lots of people and dogs to avoid. The climb up from Cheltenham Road is short and punchy.

Claiming that this is the best road in Gloucestershire is a big call. But in its autumn splendour it makes a damn good case... truly beautiful. A very nice decent after doing the Slad Valley climb, the road is in very good condition and very quiet. (Autumn 2020)

Passes Daglingworth Quarry. Hanson Aggregates works Daglingworth Quarry, extracting limestone aggregate for road building, ornamental driveway stone and dust for brick making. Extraction of stone from the site is believed to have started in 1905, since when it has been in almost continuous use. The planning permission for the quarry expires in 2042 and progressive restoration is currently being undertaken. A wide variety of fossils are known from the Daglingworth Quarry. Oysters, pectinids (scallops) and echinoids (sea urchins) can be found within the Taynton Limestone and Hampen Formations. Discovered within the sandy lenses of Hampen Formation are rare plant fragments, and dinosaur footprints have been found near the top of the formation. These are now on display at the quarry office. The Shipton Member is generally devoid of fossils except, for a few beds containing borings and burrows made by marine animals such as molluscs and worms. At the top of this member is the Excavata bed where gastropods and the echinoids, Clypeus and Cidaris are found in abundance. Trace fossils, borings and bivalves are found in many beds throughout the Ardley Member. Fossils from large reptiles have been found from near the top of the member

Good way to cross the A417. Could be muddy in depths of winter I suspect.

Nice descent through the woods from Birdlip to the A46, not sure the nicest road of the day though

This is worth a trip on any bike, worth exploring from every direction, and certainly worth visiting cranham woods for even more good downhill, singletrack and fireroads. Just be mindful of cows and considerate to Golfers and Walkers who also share the beacon and it's surrounding land (also the royal william Pub nearby is nice!)

Best hill climb in the county. Not for the faint hearted!

A relentless, gruelling climb. Dig in, use the few places where the gradient is just a bit shallower, don't give up.

A relentless, testing hill. Don't give up! Massive sense of achievement.

Overstated... but a nice road none the less

Is it the best road in Gloucestershire? I'm not sure. But it's a very enjoyable road in Gloucestershire!

Loads of trails and roads to follow up to the beacon. Great views across to the river Severn - the area is shared with Painswick Golf course and often busy with Golfers, walkers and cyclists
