A fantastic climb featuring a sharp hairpin bend near the top that adds a rewarding challenge. Spotting the house ahead signals you're almost at the summit, so shift into a low gear and enjoy the ascent! The descent is equally thrilling, with smooth roads and exhilarating twists making it a cyclist's dream.

King Alfred's Tower is managed by the National Trust and is part of the nearby Stourhead estate. The tower is a 49m high folly designed in 1772. It's believed to mark the site where King Alfred rallied his troops in 878.

Just over half way up the gradient eases for a short distance. In the days of old, horses pulling a cart would be sent into a gallop to gain momentum for the steep section ahead. You are unlikely to see that nowadays but it is still known as "galloping plain" locally.
