Garth Pier, Victorian pier in Bangor, Wales

Garth Pier is a Victorian structure of wood and iron that extends into the Menai Strait and offers views toward Anglesey and the Snowdonia mountains. With its solid construction and paths running its full length, it allows visitors to enjoy the landscape and water from different vantage points.

The pier was built in the late Victorian era as part of Britain's 19th-century expansion of coastal leisure facilities. Its enduring structure reflects how important this place became for the region and its successful survival through the decades.

The pier serves as a meeting place where locals and visitors come together for markets and events that shape community life. These gatherings reflect how people here value shared moments by the water and staying connected to their seaside home.

The pier is open from sunrise to sunset daily and has parking facilities at the entrance for those arriving by car. Refreshment stands spaced along the walkway offer snacks and drinks, especially welcome on warmer days.

The pier retains its original Victorian iron railings and lamp posts, which still define its appearance today. Specialized fishing platforms are built at regular intervals, where anglers have spent their time for more than a century.
