A bit of a look around on cycle.travel suggests that the bridge at Alston to Hartside summit is 8.8 km (5.5 miles) with no downhill segments, and hence a bit longer than Cragg Vale.I also live near to Cragg Vale. It's the longest continuous climb in England and a nice one too, quite scenic finishing on open moorland. I haven't had a proper speed go at it for quite a while but it's a great training hill.
You can also just about squeeze 8.8 km out of Great Dun Fell, if you pick the right start point.
