Cycling climbs of South-West England - Simon Warren

The fifth book in the series of eight UK regional cycling guides from author Simon Warren takes readers (andtheir bikes) to the shores and skylines of South-West England.

Plot a route between any two points in this region and its profile is likely to resemble an upturned saw blade - together, the Cotswolds, the Mendips and the exquisite Exmoor and Dartmoor National Parks form a perfect hill climber's playground. In quiet Cornish fishing villages, on top of Bodmin Moor and cresting the Salisbury Plain are legions of punishingly beautiful roads eager to meet their cycling match, and the very best are between these pages. With a list including the dramatic Cheddar Gorge, Gold Hill, Haytor Vale and the fearsome Porlock, this region is one to relish.
