  • Please do not attempt this as this Pier is starting to fall apart. People have died trying to get to the island by getting caught out by the water also!

    Such a haunting sight Matt, and the music you picked to go with this explore really envokes such sadness of an era that is being lost. It's such a shame that a historic place like this is just being left to be claimed by the environment

    It don't get much better than this, a walk by the ocean, fresh salt air,and thwarting seven yankers! I drank it all up over the pond in Battle Creek, Michigan!Top form lads!

    A few months ago North Somerset Council have bought the Peir and are spending £80,000 on renovating it and bringing it back to its former state and it should be done by 2025,whether they do or not is to be seen ,but it is a shame the Peir has been left to rot ,got some really good memories of playing the penny arcade also My Brothers Band were the last Band to play live there back in the mid 80's ,Cheers for this tho.

    Sad to see this piece of history just crumbling away. Another great explore from you and Gav with some excellent drone footage. The tides are very high at the moment with a 13.7metre rise and fall yesterday recorded just up stream at Avonmouth. Stay safe, keep exploring.

    When the thieves realised the police were waiting for them they threw the clock in the sea. The tides are savage round weston (smack town), they catch many people out, i like brean down fort not masses there some good history to the place.
