Looking up Gold Hill's cobblestone street.
Cottages lining one side of Gold Hill.
Unless you are lucky enough to have a parking space on your property, you have to park on the street. For the people who live past the point where these cars are, this is as far as they are allowed to take their cars.
Gold Hill is a dead end street so many residents actually reverse their cars all the way up the street so they can just drive straight out again later. The street isn't wide enough for a 3 point turn unless you own a motorbike.
Finally made it back to the top. I'm not sure what the purpose is of the wall on the right, maybe it belongs to the abbey which is further up the hill. I think Gold Hill gets busy in the summer because they have a designated walkway to keep the tourists under control.
When you get to the top of Gold Hill you can reward yourself with a refreshing drink or lunch at the Salt Cellar.
