Thank you !

Could be construed as a poetic description by a Dutchman (using our language) of how his compatriots increase their country's land area. (The place is, incidentally, located in a region where in the past, those folk gave us help vis-a-vis similar activities.)
Whittlesea?

Correct -- "conceit" of whittling away at the (contiguous) sea ...

Uw beurt, Mijnheer Cooper.

Daft very probably, but in a different way -- how about Darley Dale, on the "heritage" Peak Rail line? -- thinking of Sir Walter Scott's novel PEVERIL of the Peak ...

My clue may be convoluted but it's not that convoluted.

That's what I thought ! England once had a couple of stations which might work with this theme, in a less tortured way -- Peak Forest; and Ravenscar (Scarborough -- Whitby line), which was previously named Peak; but those two are no more.

Neither of the above are correct - the steps are not physical objects. Can you charm yet another clue out of me??
