Highlight • Climb

Long draggy climb out of Marlborough on the A4 up Forest Hill to the Savernake Hospital - main road, and often busy, but a nice steady 6-7% gradient for a while.

I loved this route as it follows an old railway line for several miles and is a very good condition track, reasonably wide, fast and fun.
