Another of Rowland Pavey's grand schemes, this hillside flight of 274 steps 
carries you from the bottom of Britain's Biggest Gorge to the top, 
where you'll find the Lookout Tower and the clifftop Gorge Walk.

When you climb Jacob's Ladder we invite you to take each step 
as one million years of the Earth's history and take you on a journey through Ice ages, 
150 steps of Dinosaurs ruling the Earth, right through to Human history 
(the thickness of a single sheet of paper on the top step!)
