If you want to go from the harbor to St Mary's Church and Whitby Abbey, you first have to climb 199 steps. This was formerly a particular ordeal for the pallbearers, which is why several platforms were built for resting. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitby

Uniquely nestled between tall cliffs to the north and south, Staithes is a truly picturesque village with its characteristic river mouth and harbour. Cleveland Way from the south is quite steep (I turned around here so can't comment on routes to the north), but well worth the effort.

As you walk up the steps from the town, on every 10th step, there is a Roman numeral of the step number you are on, all the way to 199!

Whilst this waterfall is relatively accessible, as others point out it is a bit of a scramble, with the rocks still quite slippery and treacherous in the height of summer, as they are permanently in the shade and damp. In summer, the valley that the track to the waterfall runs through provides welcome respite from the heat of the day.
