Llandudno pier North Wales North Sea UK GB EU Europe


The town's elegant pier is on the North Shore; it was built in 1878, and is 1,234 feet in length and a Grade II listed building. Looking back towards the town from the end of the pier, on a clear day one can see the mountains of Snowdonia rising over the town. A curious major extension of the pier in 1884 was in a landwards direction along the side of the Grand Hotel to provide a new entrance with a pier pavilion at the North Parade end of the promenade, thus increasing its length to 2,295 feet. In the summer, Professor Codman's Punch and Judy show can be found at the entrance to the promenade.
