Walk Around Central Pier Blackpool

Join us for a walk around Central Pier Blackpool, right to the very end on a still autumn morning at the end of September! With fewer people around than normal you can see everything, including the view over the edge!! We'll also find out some interesting facts from through the years.

Our walk around Central Pier starts on Blackpool Central Promenade at the 'in' entrance, with social distancing measures in place for the ongoing coronavirus crisis. The entrance is at the north side of Central Pier, then we'll cross over to travel around the sunnier south side, right to the very end of the Pier. Our journey back to solid ground is via the shadier north side of Blackpool Central Pier, crossing again to leave by the exit at the south side.

When you look around Central Pier today it's an amusement pier, packed full of fairground rides and of course Blackpools Big Wheel. Sadly, fire struck earlier this year. See the fire damage at Blackpool Central Pier in our film, thankfully it wasn't as bad as it could have been. The link to our video filmed just after the fire is below.

Central Pier Blackpool was the second pier to be built in the resort, and opened as South Jetty in May 1868. Did you know there was a landing jetty at the end of it which was used by steamers, taking people on pleasure trips to Southport, Llandudno, Lytham, Barrow and Peel?

South Jetty was renamed Central Pier when South Pier opened in 1893. Watch our walk around video to find out much more!
