Travel Tips - Historic-sights in Brighton, England

 

Brighton is one of the UK’s oldest holiday seaside towns, since it was first made famous by King George lV who commissioned his seaside residence in what we now call The Royal Pavilion. With its Indian style towers, dome and minarets, it is still stand tall and proud since its conception back in 1783.

The fame of Brighton’s Lanes has already spread far and wide and is a gorgeous snap shot of Ye Olde Worlde England with its “twittens” and picturesque narrow streets littered with jewelers, gift shops, cafes, bars and pubs. A real picture postcard treats. And don’t miss the historic Palace Pier and crumbling West Pier, both provide great examples of Brighton’s sea resort status and heritage.

A trip to the seaside would not be completed without paying a visit to the Volk’s Electric railway, which is the world oldest operating electric railroad. For an adult return fare of £2.70 (with concessions for children), this quaint little beachside railway will take you along the length of Brighton’s Madeira drive (near the Palace pier) along to Black Rock (near the Marina).

Fun for all the family and an ideal change from catching a bus or taxi to Brighton Marina.

Just browsing at the West Pier market  
 
The crumbling structure of the West Pier marks the location of a small market which takes place every weekend and features a number of stalls selling everything from second hand books, paintings, African clothing, hats and printed t-shirts.

Combine this market with a walk along the seafront, stopping at Al Fresco for a drink while you watch the world go by.
