Sheffield Cycling Climbs

A compendium of Sheffield cycling hill climbs in both the city and the south Peak District.  Some will be hard, some will be easy, some will be beautiful and some will be dull but they’ll all take you up a hill.

Langsett Avenue. Is 20 the gradient or the speed limit?

West Hill. 230 metres outside Sheffield.

The Thunderpit. A quiet lane with a surprise at the top.

Bubnell Lane. Quiet and picturesque.

Pea Royd Lane. Really only 0.72 miles?

Pindale. Hard as concrete.

Upper Valley Footpath. Want some ‘30% climb’ bragging rights?

Ranmoor Gennel. Possibly impossible?

Birks Wood Drive. A sneaky suburban climb.

Kent Road. Arguably one of Sheffield’s steepest hills.

Woodfall Lane & Côte de Bradfield. The Tour de France section is the easy bit.

New Road. A beautiful Derbyshire climb.

Damflask to Cliffe Hill. From the resevoir to the ice cream.

Burnt Hill Lane. Jawbone Hill’s evil twin.

Cobnar Road. An utterly deceptive beast.

Conduit Road. A happy, little challenge.

Ranmoor Park Road. A straight up stinker.

Jawbone Hill. A slog of a Tour De France climb with a few false summits along the way.

Fiddler’s Elbow. An excellent descent and a satisfying climb.

Bungay Street. A Belgian taste of cobbles.

Rutland and Cooks Wood Roads. A busy urban climb with a large right angle in the middle.

Douse Croft Lane. A very fast descent leads you to a deceptively challenging hill.

Jenkin Road. Fancy riding in the tyre tracks of the Tour De France?

Paradise Street. A silly little climb in the city with a taste of the cobbled Paris Roubaix.

Whiteley Wood Road and Common Lane. A functional climb that will get you a bit closer to the Peak District.

Gladstone Grind / Snaithing Lane. A slog of a residential road that will get you close to the Peak District.

Highcliffe Road. An unpleasant climb.

Curbar Edge. A beautiful climb that is worth travelling for.

Ranmoor Crescent. A short hill with a broad S-shape.

Wheel Lane & Coldwell Hill. A hidden gem of a hill climb.

Earldom Road. A very short blast up a very steep hill.

Rivelin Bank & Walkley Bank Road. By no means the only challenging hill in the area.

Loxley to Kirk Edge. The road wiggles through the sounds and smells of the countryside.

Rails Road. Let’s be clear: there is no short, flat section on his hill.

Roper Hill. For the unsuspecting rider, it’s a kick in the teeth.

Tom Lane. A modest yet surprisingly challenging hill.

Lodge Lane. A valley climb with a sting in its tail.

The Dale. A truly stunning Peak District cycling climb.

Smithy Wood Crescent. Like riding the Alpe d’Huez, a couple of miles from Sheffield city centre.  Sort of.

Myrtle Road. An almost unwaveringly consistent 10%.

Blake Street. One of Sheffield’s most infamous hill climbs.

Woodcliffe & Hangram Lane. A tale of two hills.

Meersbrook Park. A short but sweet climb that gives you a great panorama across Sheffield.

Hunter House Road. A fairly quiet residential road featured in Jodie Whittaker’s first Dr Who.

Ringinglow Road. You’ll soon find yourself atop the world, on the edge of some of the most beautiful scenery in the country.

Armthorpe Road. It’s short but steep.

Hagg Hill. It’s not a long climb but it’s very steep and unforgiving from the start.
