I call it the Secret Pier because many would never imagine Bangor in North Wales even possessed a pier. But yes, it is approx 470 metres in length and believed to be the nineth longest in England & Wales. Built by the victorians and completed in 1896 it fulfilled the ambitions of the many to "walk on water," to relax and be entertained. To this day it provides stunning views across the Menai Straits towards the Isle of Anglesey and looking back you can view a backdrop of the Welsh mountains. How to unlock the Secret. Travel along the A5 (Beach Road) at the far end of the City. The road has a sharp right hand bend. There, look for Garth Road, a narrow side exit leading away and lined with an array of houses. Along Garth Road for a short distance will lead you to the pier. Well worth a visit, not only to take you back in time 123 years. Yet to this day in gratitude to an ongoing program of maintenance there is still a special feeling Walking on Water. To the traveller, well worth a visit.
