Toby Stoff enjoyed some Welsh hospitality but his visit confirmed his belief that Baldwin St is steeper than the main street of Ffordd Pen Llech. His findings backed up his claim that Baldwin St is steeper than its Welsh rival. Stoff told Sunday Morning that he and his colleague took measurements in Ffordd Pen Llech to confirm what they suspected. He said Ffordd Pen Llech had been able to claim the title, by hugging 10 metres of an inside curve on one corner, for their case. Tourists continue to flock to Baldwin St, despite being dethroned as the world's steepest street.
