NZ Loses World's Steepest Street Titile

New Zealand can no longer claim to have the steepest street in the world. A street in the Welsh seaside town of Harlech has come forward to take the crown, with its street Ffordd Pen Llech. Baldwin Street in the South Island of Dunedin had for years been known as the worlds steepest street. The result comes after a campaign by Welsh residents. To qualify for the record a street must be fully paved with buildings along it. The measurement is based on the highest gradient over a section of 10m. Ffordd Pen Llech runs past Harlech castle, houses, shops, a caravan park, a laundry service and a restaurant.
