This is one of three narrow, steep walkways that lead down to "The Gatherums", which is a park aligned with a path from Church St. to Aswell St. The name comes from the Danish word 'smutte', which means a narrow passage between two houses. This area was under Danish control in the 9th century, though the walkway only received the name in 2009. 'Paradise' was the name of an old orchard upon which Kidgate School (opposite) was built.
