Audio Guide
This short but steep thoroughfare in the city centre has a unique Dickensian feel, with its old-fashioned street lamps and uneven cobbles. The steps were actually constructed in September 1669 and were paid for solely by a wealthy wine merchant, Jonathan Blackwell. Today, it makes a lovely place to stroll and shop and there are a number of small but high quality specialist shops as well as a couple of cafes along the Steps (some of which are closed on Mondays) - including onCoffee.net (an internet cafe), a natural shoe store, an old stamp shop and a wonderful fish and chip shop right at the bottom - sit at their tables outside and try our national dish! Wheelchair users and those with pushchairs are advised that whilst there is a great view from either the top or bottom, unfortunately there is no access to the actual steps themselves.
