199 Steps Whitby
A famous Whitby landmark the 199 steps connect the parish church on the cliff top to the town below. These 'church stairs' were first mentioned over six hundred years ago, and in 1717 were still wooden. Its a steep climb from Church Street below to the church itself,and there are still resting places at regular intervals,no doubt the pallbearers would have particularly appreciated these when a funeral was underway.You get a wonderful view of Whitby from the top,which you can take in,while you get your breath back!!lol...
