List Of Gravity Hills
This is a list of gravity hills and magnetic hills around the world.
A gravity or magnetic hill is a place where a slight downhill slope appears to be an uphill slope due to the layout of the surrounding land, creating the optical illusion that water flows uphill or a car left out of gear will roll uphill, among others. Many of these sites have no specific name and are instead often simply referred to as "Gravity Hill" or "Magnetic Hill".

Draws out our miles and makes them wearisome.”
