Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Looking down Stanley Road, Newport Stanley Road is a candidate for the steepest road in Newport. It rises from 17.6 metres at its base in Devon Place to 28.8 metres at its junction with Gold Tops. The horizontal distance covered (as shown on a map ) is 59 metres, which gives a gradient of 1 in 5.3
As can be seen here, it joins Devon Place at a T junction, so in my younger, cycling, days it was one of the 'impossible' gradients, as a 'flying start' is not possible. It was not a hill to cycle down either, except with brakes engaged. Fortunately, Stanley Road is not an essential link in the Newport road network. A short detour via Pentonville avoids the excessive steepness. The view from the bottom https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1596720 |
