So, the longest pier in the UK is a 1.34-mile concrete ribbon that was built to solve a Victorian docking problem, survived two fires and a war, and now serves as a place to buy overpriced doughnuts and feel the wind rearrange your face. It is absolutely the longest pier. And it’s proud of it.
If you ever go, remember just one thing: do not try to walk both ways. You will regret it. Take the train. Your knees will thank you. And if you see a seagull eyeing your chips, just hand them over. You are on a 1.34-mile walk. You do not have time for negotiations.
