“My Great British Pier Trip – 66 Seaside Piers in 21 days”

“Chief PierCrawler” Chris Foote Wood has written a book about his experiences visiting every seaside pier in the country. In 2007, author & broadcaster Chris (Victoria Wood’s brother) fulfilled a lifetime ambition by walking on all the remaining seaside pleasure piers in England, Wales & the Isle of Man.

On his trip around the coasts of Britain, Chris kept an amusing and entertaining “blog” which he has now produced in book form, along with a host of colour photographs he took along the way. As well as the UK’s 56 “recognised” seaside piers, Chris includes several other interesting seaside piers, plus (of course) Wigan Pier (which does exist!).
