Llandudno Pier

Llandudno Pier is a 700-meter timber structure extending from the Promenade into the sea, supported by cast iron columns with decorative details throughout. The pier houses cafes, shops, amusement arcades, and fishing spots distributed along its length.

The pier was designed by architect H.E. Wyatt and opened in 1878 as tourism expanded across North Wales. It quickly became a central leisure destination for the growing coastal town.

The pavilion at the pier's heart hosts concerts and theatrical performances that draw crowds throughout the year. These gatherings continue to serve as a focal point for community entertainment and celebration.

The pier is easily accessible from the Promenade with nearby parking available, making arrival straightforward for visitors. The spread of facilities along the structure allows visitors to spend time at their own pace.

The pier preserves murals created by artists Eric Ravilious and Mary Adshead in 1934, adding an artistic dimension often overlooked by visitors. These artworks document an overlooked chapter of interwar British art on the coast.
