The Struggle is a narrow road in the Lakes District in England. This aptly named roadway is very narrow - not more than a single lane, but with two-way traffic, and flanked on both sides by dry stone walls. It twists its way up to Kirkstone Pass from Ambleside, rising, in places, at a 1 in 4 gradient (a one foot rise in four feet traveled). Other hazards include sheep which have strayed onto the roadway from the adjoining fields, highland cattle, and other traffic (car, cycle and foot).
