294 North Road, North East Valley, North East Valley, Dunedin City

Baldwin Street

Dunedin City Walks

Travelling north along North Road in North-East Valley, you come to a signpost on your right. It claims Baldwin Street as the steepest street in the world. Listed as such in the Guiness Book of Records, the street has a gradient of 1 in 2.86 in its steepest section. Each February as part of Dunedin’s Festival, runners compete in the Baldwin Street Gutbuster, a race up and down with a record time of 1 min 56.06 secs. You don’t have to hurry, and you can have a drink of water at the fountain at the top and a rest on a bench before you descend! Dunedin's famous steep street takes 15 minutes to walk up.
