Garth Pier, Victorian pier in Bangor, Wales
The Garth Pier extends over the Menai Strait with a wooden deck and iron framework, offering views across the water toward Anglesey and Snowdonia mountains.
Built during the late Victorian period, this Grade II* listed structure emerged as part of the 19th-century expansion of British coastal recreational facilities.
The pier maintains its role as a local gathering point, hosting regular community events, markets, and traditional Welsh cultural celebrations throughout the year.
Visitors can access the pier daily from sunrise to sunset, with dedicated parking facilities available at the entrance and refreshment kiosks along its length.
The structure features original Victorian iron railings and lamp posts, complemented by specialized fishing platforms positioned at regular intervals along its span.
