Good road surface and a straight road, but it is really steep heading down into Bridges. Make sure to use plenty of brakes and take it easy.

Asterton Bank Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Popular Shropshire Hills climb. Tough gradients and an old surface (still paved, but a bit uneven) but the views are worth the effort. Careful of the descents as with all downhills in the region.

The Burway Climb, Shropshire Hills

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Stop and let your brakes cool on the decent - too much speed could spell your doom. There isn't a lot of room for a bike and a car at speed. Just saying...
