Ryde Pier, Grade II listed pier in Ryde, England

The 745-yard wooden pier stretches into the Solent, connecting ferries and trains to the Isle of Wight's northern coast at Ryde.

Constructed in 1813 and opened in 1814, Ryde Pier became essential for passengers who previously had to walk through wet sand to reach the town.

The pier structure encompasses three parallel sections: the original promenade, a former tramway corridor, and a railway track serving Island Line trains.

Wightlink ferries operate hourly services from Portsmouth to Ryde Pier Head, where passengers can transfer to trains running to Shanklin.

The structure holds the distinction of being the oldest seaside pier in England, maintaining continuous passenger operations since its inauguration.
