Mumbles Pier Swansea South Wales


Mumbles Pier was built in 1898 and stands as a tribute to Victorian architecture. Stretching 225 meters out into Mumbles Bay it was once the only way to visit Swansea in style. The White Funnel Steamers would dock on the end unloading tourists who would then make the journey to The Mumbles via the worlds first passenger railway. Nowadays The Pier is used as a popular fishing point or to enjoy the finest views of Mumbles Bay, The Lighthouse and Port Talbot. The Pier still carries a fully functioning lifeboat station.
