Southend Pier

Southend Pier bills itself as the longest pleasure pier in the world. We visited on a sunny but windy April day and had a great meander along the pier. We opted to walk but the staff told us that the train is wheelchair accessible if we had wanted to go on it. We didn't get to the end as we had to get back for the dog (important note - dogs aren't allowed on the pier) but will go again. Also there is level access throughout but rememember this is a pier and the footway is made of planks. There are some gaps between the planks so if you have narrow wheels on your wheelchair just watch where you're going!
