Locals from the sleepy town of Harlech, Wales awarded the niche accolade of having the 'world's steepest street'—with a gradient of 37.45%.
Locals from the sleepy town of Harlech, Wales, celebrated as they were awarded the rather niche accolade of having the"world's steepest street" Tuesday, with the honor going to Ffordd Pen Llech road.
An independent surveyor concluded that the street's gradient was 37.45% on June 6 this year, which beat Baldwin Street's gradient of just 35%. Harlech resident Gwyn Headley, who led the campaign for Ffordd Pen Llech to be recognized, said he felt"utter relief" to have finally won out. Another local resident, Sarah Badham, who runs the town's Facebook page, said she realized Gwyn"was onto something" when he posted in the group suggesting the street may be the world's steepest.
