Leith Hill
This is a bit tougher than Box Hill. 6 out of 10 on
100 Greatest, and long too - 2km. It's the length and the sections of 12% that make it tough, the flatter bits reduce the impact.
 |
| Starts steep, narrow-sided and potholed 12% |
 |
| Then levels out (6%) around about the stately home on the left |
 |
Then goes up again and into the trees - in fact there are about 4 steep
bits and 4 flatter bits |
 |
| No views at the top, you're in tree cover |
The
White Downs climb follows pretty much straightaway after Leith Hill.
