Excellent I’ll check those out. Any other recommendations for bits like Killer Hill elsewhere?
@dbr yeah saw your time was pretty decent. I mainly want to just make it up without putting a foot down.
Anyone got a power profile for Hardknott, I could try replicate a file for the turbo…

That’s a whole other circle of hell. What do you actually like about cycling up hills!?

Couple of road climbs that haven't been mentioned so far:

Magpie Bottom: https://www.strava.com/segments/2500956?hl=en-GB

Vigo Hill: https://www.strava.com/segments/658753
Birling Hill: https://www.strava.com/segments/1068454Tbh if you're serious about trying to improve your climbing I'd suggest trying to build your fitness through multiple reps of the same climb (most time efficient session vs travelling between climbs), and working on your technique when climbing the steepest stuff

I assume the one off Knatts you reference is "Killer Hill"? https://www.strava.com/segments/5190593
Knatts is quite a good location for some decent climbing, particularly if you have a gravel bike. Nothing of the length you get in the Lakes, but I'd say Killer Hill is comparable to the steepest bits of Hardknott.
Other Knatts/steep off road segments:

There's also one up onto the abandoned golf course at the top of Knatts, which I can't see a segment for but is here:
