Made famous by the Hovis advert in 1973, the cobbled climb of Gold Hill has just got more and more loved by the nation as the years have passed. The view is stunning from the top of this notorious climb, which sadly didn't make the Top 100 climbs but entered as 101st. The gradient ramps up to 23% at one stage but the whole climb is only 150 metres (490 ft) so just grit your teeth. It'll be worth it.
