A race taking cyclists up a steep and narrow cobbled hill has taken place in a Somerset village.

The Cobble Wobble in Frome attracted people in fancy dress alongside professional athletes on Sunday.

The route up Catherine Hill is designed to test the riders’ strength and skill, and the winners are crowned the King and Queen of the Cobbles.

Andrew Denham, who founded the event in 2009, said: “It’s a silly bicycle race that goes up Catherine Hill – there’s no good reason to ride up it, really, but that’s what we’re doing.”
