 pier, Grade I Listed (UK)

Described by Sir John Betjeman, as "the most beautiful pier in England" it was Grade I listed building in 2001: historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1129...

It is a seaside pier in the town of Clevedon, on the English side of the mouth of the River Severn and the Bristol Channel. It is situated next to the Royal Pier Hotel.

The landing stage at the end of the pier is occasionally used by ships, notably the Waverley and her sister ship, the Balmoral, and is a popular spot for angling. There is a cafe at the pierhead, and a souvenir shop at the toll house. The upper floor of the toll house is occasionally used for art exhibitions. The pier is open every day of the year except Christmas Day.
