Under The Pier Show Southwold Pier — Attraction in England

I've been to piers all over the world. I'm not a pier nerd, but the Under the Pier show ticked all my boxes in a way that nothing has done before.

It was a shame that the water-clock had been dismantled - but great to see it getting that level of maintenance. If you go to Southwold...
