Google is telling me Hardknott Pass and Rosedale Chimney Bank at 33% for England.
They used to do hill-climb car racing up Porlock Hill in Exmoor but that is reported as a mere 25% I can't help but think that there are some short side-roads that are steeper. They may also have further criteria for the 'World Record'.
