I live local to Frocester and climb that hill as part of my 20 mile training route. It’s tough but a reasonable gradient. The length of the climb is the killer. A harder climb lies just a few miles to the South in the form of Crawley Hill. At the top of Frocester, if you turn right onto the main road, Crawley Hill can be found a mile or so along this road. It drops steeply (12% to 15% in places) into the village of Uley and onto the market town of Dursley. It’s a harder test than Frocester but both are pretty gruelling rides, as is the other big hill to the North, which can be found 4 miles further on towards Stroud from the top of Frocester at Selsey. Frocester Hill is a good training hill to be able to cycle up Selsey hill!
