The Whaligoe Steps (ND34SW 121.1), a stairway of 365 stone steps, zigzag down the cliff face from to a small platform and fishing quay (ND34SW 121.00). There was a fishing port and a curing shed at Whaligoe by 1640 although the steps are first mentioned in the late 18th century. View of steps from cliffs to south west.
