This stunning Victorian-era pier pavilion stands proudly on the coast of Penarth, Wales, boasting an impressive blend of architectural styles. The building's facade is a masterclass in ornate detailing, with intricate stonework, ornamental turrets, and a grand clock tower that rises majestically above the surrounding rooftops. As visitors approach the pavilion, they're greeted by a sweeping staircase that curves elegantly upward, leading to a spacious interior adorned with intricate plasterwork, ornate chandeliers, and expansive windows that flood the space with natural light.
Nice place to just chill and walk around. Lacking in food options but that's part of the charm. Very popular for ice cream on a bright sunny day! When you are driving parking will be an issue so do take note of that!
Such a beautiful place to visit. Parking is quite limited most days but especially when the sun is out. There are small coffee and ice cream shops on the pier and plenty of benches to sit and enjoy the view. The pier is accessible for disabled people and it's mostly flat. There are often people fishing at the top of the pier too so I assume it's a good fishing spot!
Lovely place to visit, parking a nightmare on the weekend! You're better off dropping people off then the fit one in your party, parking the car up the top of the hill and walking back down to the Pier! We went on our bikes, so no problem at all! Coffee shop lovely, sweet shops, ice-creams the lot! A wonderful place to bring the family, young and old!
Warm afternoon. Gentle breeze. Listening to the seagulls and the outgoing tide. Penarth Pier, an ideal place to slow down and enjoy the moment, solo or with a loved one. Drinks, ice cream, fish and chips and lollies available. Easy bus trip from Cardiff city.
There are a couple of shops on the Pier. Parking is limited, so it will be hard to find parking on the seafront itself on a sunny day - even when it isn't the weekend. There are a few parking areas within relatively easy walking distance. There are a couple of shops that sell ice cream, sweets, fish and chips on the pier itself. There are also public toilets on the pier.
I struggle a bit with vertigo when walking on places like bridges. But it was worth it to see the lovely views and the happy dogs having a dip in the sea. Lots of nice food establishments on and off the peir.
