THE CYCLING CLIMBS OF EAST ANGLIA
Beacon Hill

Difficulty: 3/5
Location: West Runton
Length: 1.5km
Height Gain: 77m
Average gradient: 5%

This is the most well-known climb in Norfolk, ending at the county's modest highpoint of 103m. For this reason, I saw four other cyclists when I visited. Unlike Bard Hill and Sandy Hill, there are no moments of double figure gradient, only a solid 5% slog for over a kilometre. The surroundings are attractive with much of the climb covered by deciduous forest and with a steep drop to you right. There is no better East Anglian climb for perfecting technique for the high mountains.
