Shaley Brow Climb

Highlight • Cycleway

Shaley Brow is in my opinion a Jekyll and Hyde kind of hill, on paper it doesn't look all that bad, yes it kicks up to about 14% but take it at a steady pace with a low gear and the hill can be conquered without too much of a problem. However attack it at any sort of pace, be it with a competitive group, going after a strava KOM or like in 2013 for HMCC's annual hill climb competition, Shaley Brow has a habit of ripping your legs off, laughing at you as you struggle on and finally giving you an all mighty kick when you are down. If you want an idea on how feared this local climb is I have been riding with the club for 3 years and in that time have only ridden it 4 times. If a group gets close a hush will come over the riders waiting to see if the ride leader is feeling sadistic and the chat only gets going when they realise they are turning away, which luckily they often do.

View from Clieves Hill

Highlight • Climb

There are three small climbs on quiet roads that lead to this viewpoint - all are enough to get the heart and lungs going but not long enough, or steep enough to be a problem to anyone.

The view itself is worth the effort - looking over the West Lancashire Plain towards the Mersey Estuary and Irish Sea. Liverpool City Centre and the docks can be seen, and, on a clear day, Wales and Snowdonia.
