It is known throughout the country, not just by cyclists. Looking through the thread we have been pretty close to it before. I suspect many of you have been up here.

Oh well done. I would never have found that.
It looked to me like any number of climbs in the Surrey Hills. I'd just eliminated Ranmore and the obvious bits of Leith Hill.
The final corner as you climb Box Hill has a drop off on the right, so that was next - only to find it's not on Streetview!

I thought I recognised it - I had a very happy holiday in 2017 near Bridlington. On the final evening we ate fish and chips by a spectacular sea at Filey. I have some video I ought to upload sometime.
I'm on taxi duty shortly so my next offering will need to wait an hour or two.

Ah, so did I, in 2016... I'd forgotten! (The climb - not the mate-towing...)
I think it is overstating it to call it a cobbled climb though...
THIS is a cobbled climb!

I have a few ready to go. This was taken in 2017 before I'd fitted a second bottom cage to my "new" bike:

I don't think I can do anything else at this stage other than to say one of those is correct.

This is a guestimate. 
If I am correct I will have to pass on my choice of photo.
Your photo is looking south east ish from the B4080 near Defford, after a visit to a well-known cyclist's cafe.

It definitely looks like the right hill, but the road looks wrong. You need to get on Street view and try to find it. Meanwhile, we will all be trying to pinch it from you!This is a guestimate.

Very much in the right area, @Speicher, but not that road.
I've just had a look at Street View; the big hill was only just visible and the wonky gate on the left hadn't been put there when the camera passed by in 2009.
I've realised I've used a view from the same road in this thread before, if that helps.
