Sunset at Clevedon Pier North Somerset

Clevedon Pier

Clevedon Pier is located in the town of Clevedon, situated in North Somerset, England on the east shore of the Severn Estuary. It was described by Sir John Betjeman, as "the most beautiful pier in England". More recently it was restored after a partial collapse in the 1970s and now is open most days for visitors to stroll along once more.

02

Swanage Pier

The remains of Swanage's original pier consists of just the old piles driven into the seabed. Built in 1859 the old pier was not for Victorian ladies to take the sea air but to load Purbeck stone onto ships to be carried to London. Funded by amongst others, John Mowlem, the pier was not a success as the local stone merchants decided to load stone from the beach as they always had, rather than pay the pier tolls!
