Road cycling
Countisbury Hill from Lynmouth is a long, steady Exmoor climb with an average gradient of 10% and ramps reaching 18%. The wide, smooth A-road climbs sharply from the coast, offering dramatic sea views. The gradient is relentless from the start, so drop into an easy gear early and pace yourself for the full 2 km grind. Reach the top, and you’re rewarded with sweeping views over the Bristol Channel and open moorland ahead.
