A tough climb which gets steeper after the right hand bend. It is followed by a sharp left bend with the last steep section into the village of Hanbury. An information post shows information about a crater, created by a ww2 explosion in an ammunitions store. Views from the water tower are impressive. I recommend the fast descent back down the hill. Watch out for cars on the bends. They appear from nowhere when ascending and can be off putting on the tight bends.

Hanbury Hill is a nice climb from Coton in the Clay at 64m up to the village of Hanbury at 144m. It's about 1km from the junction with a height gain of 80m and a gradient of 6% (13% max). Great views across Staffordshire and a bench at the top.
