Steep Hill
訪問に最適な時期
Visit on a weekday morning in spring or autumn when the street is quietest and the low sun casts long shadows across the cobblestones. Avoid summer weekends when cruise ship crowds and day trippers make the narrow pavement feel claustrophobic.
予算のヒント
Walking the street itself costs nothing. Several of the independent shops and tearooms offer window displays worth a slow browse, but skip the touristy souvenir shops halfway up where prices are marked up 30 percent.
おすすめ対象
Photography enthusiasts, History lovers, Solo travelers seeking character, Couples on a relaxed day out
訪問時間の計画

概要
クイックファクト: 勾配1対7（約14.5度）のこの中世の通りは、丘の上の大聖堂地区と丘の下の市中心部を結んでいる。その名前は登るのに必要な純粋な肉体的努力に由来し、地元の伝統では石炭の袋をかついで駆け上がれた者には1ペニーが支払われたという。
見どころ: 商店の間にひっそりと隠れた12世紀のユダヤ人家屋を探してみよう。戸口は低く、窓はかろうじて1メートルの高さしかない。頂上では、13世紀の中世のギルドホールの前で立ち止まろう。そこでは数百年前に馬をつなぐために使われていた錬鉄製のリングを今でも見ることができる。
インサイダーヒント
- Wear flat grippy shoes, the 12th-century cobbles are polished smooth by millions of feet and get dangerously slippery when damp.
- Skip the main route up and take the parallel 'Vicar's Court' lane for a quieter climb with fewer tourists and better photo angles of the cathedral.
- Stop at the halfway point bench outside the antique bookshop for the best view of the street's curve stretching both up and down.
- Visit just before a rain shower, the wet cobblestones reflect the streetlights and shop windows like a medieval mirror.
