Bangor Pier from Chateau Rhianfa An excellent viewpoint across the Menai Strait is accessible by a steep footpath beside Chateau Rhianfa; evidently a public right of way, according to the maps. This viewpoint during the early morning reliably provides visual delight, assuming no injuries take place whilst navigating the wet seaweed on the shore. Sadly today a floating object rudely intrudes against the reflections and acts to distract. Never mind - what is a mere distraction to a photographer will certainly be the pride of a local mariner.

Bangor Pier from an extraordinarily long way away This relatively uninteresting view of the Pier, taken from the landing stage beside the Menai Suspension Bridge, was submitted here since it records the loss of the so-called "Linkspan" onto the landing stage of the pier. The landing stage was constructed at low cost during the 1980s restoration of the pier, and its rudimentary specification resulted in it being deemed unsuitable for use by the public, so has remained unused for most of its existence. Its declining condition has necessitated the removal of the connecting gangway, presumably to eliminate any risk of damage to the pier in the event of a failure of the landing stage. Presumably the rest of the landing stage will be removed at some point.
