Paignton Pier

Paignton Pier in Devon, its deck lined with rides and a helter-skelter, with people and dogs on the wet red-sand beach

To indulge in pure holiday nostalgia, head to this grand old Victorian pier where you can parade along the long wooden deck, jump in a dodgem, bounce around on a trampoline and have a game of crazy golf.
