New Mills to Ceunant y Garys°
1951.5 m · net rise 201.4 m · total ascent 210.5 m · overall 10.3% · confidence: needs confirmation · New Mills · Powys
Shape: sustained — 36% of the climbing sits in a quarter of the distance; longest continuous stretch at 10%+ is 223 m.
Found purely from mapping and LiDAR data, and not yet matched against books, race records or lists — it may be well known to locals under a name we've never heard. It was cross-checked against the OS road network, surface models and map tags, but a discovery can still be an artifact of the terrain model or the map. Treat it as a well-evidenced hypothesis until someone has ridden it. If you know this road, tell us what you found — photographs, corrections and local knowledge all welcome; the map links below let you scout it first.
° The name is provisional: this climb is not yet matched to a documented name, so it was named from nearby map places. There is no evidence of local usage — (auto-named from gazetteer (hypothesis, unreviewed); discovered as 'Discovered lane (52.7686, -3.3015)'). Corrections welcome.

≈ Overhead cover (tree canopy or structures) spans 63% of this route — detected by comparing the surface model (DSM, treetops and rooftops) against the terrain model (DTM, bare ground). Under cover the bare-ground model is built from fewer laser returns, so metre-scale readings can wobble; maxima whose window sits in a covered zone are marked ≈ below — less certain — the flag does not say whether the true value is higher or lower. Longer windows average over more clean ground and are steadier.
Gradient ladder what do windows mean?
| Window | Maximum | Located at | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 m (diagnostic) | ≈55% | 468–470 m | under overhead cover terrain reads 56.0% at 388–390 m across a structure — excluded |
| 3 m (diagnostic) | ≈52% | 467–470 m | under overhead cover |
| 5 m | ≈41% | 465–470 m | under overhead cover |
| 10 m | ≈31% | 462–472 m | under overhead cover |
| 20 m | ≈24.5% | 462–482 m | under overhead cover |
| 25 m | ≈22.8% | 464–489 m | under overhead cover |
| 50 m | ≈20.1% | 400–450 m | under overhead cover terrain reads 20.3% at 386–436 m across a structure — excluded |
| 100 m | ≈19.3% | 400–500 m | under overhead cover terrain reads 19.8% at 383–483 m across a structure — excluded |
