Eateries, shops, arcades and Tim Hunkin's famously intriguing creations are all on offer at Southwold Pier. Stretching out 2,043 feet (623 m) into the North Sea, it's a great place to come and enjoy views across the water or back towards the town.

Tim Hunkin's water clock is worth a visit on the hour, while his underwater shows are also worth exploring.

The pier was originally built as a landing stage for Belle steamships transporting tourists from London.
