Balaclava Road from Llandegwning

Wales, wales

At just 1.6km, Balaclava Road from Llandegwning is short but deceptively intense — 56m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 3.4% disguises ramps of 8.4% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in Wales, Wales.

  • A false flat around km 1 offers brief respite before the road kicks up again.
  • A gentler outing by Wales standards — a good introduction to the country's climbing.
