Gold Hill, Shaftesbury

Highlight • Climb

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.

Zig Zag Hill Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

As close as you can get to an Alpine switchback-ridden climb in North Dorset, the view from the top at Wingreen Hill is always worth the hard work.

Ashmore Village and Pond

Highlight • Settlement

A central pond, thatched cottages and a sense of peace, Ashmore is a wonderfully pretty village to pedal through. It's actually the highest in Dorset – too high for time to have caught up with it, as it rather feels like stepping into history.
