Free Days Out in The City Brighton
Article by Kuldeep
Brighton is a small, exciting city on the south coast of the UK, an hour from London. It’s a popular tourist destination thanks to its beach, many pubs and restaurants, and relaxed atmosphere. If you’re coming for a holiday in Brighton, some places you must see are below:
The beach is the biggest draw, even though it is rather pebbly. Just 15 minutes walk from the train station, all downhill, the main area between the piers gets full quickly in the heat of summer, but walk either east or west along the coastal path and you’ll find an empty spot soon enough.
From the beach you can’t miss the Brighton Pier. It houses arcades, small shops, and a full on fun fair at the end, giving you amazing views over Brighton from the taller rides. A must for a candyfloss and a wander around while you take a break from the beach.
Five minutes walk from the beach is the Royal Pavilion, Brighton’s most historic building. The Pavilion is set in some small but lovely gardens, originally planned out by John Nash, the designer who redeveloped the Pavilion. They’re free to enter and provide much needed basking space when the sun is strong and the beach is full.
On the edge of the gardens is the Brighton Museum and Art Gallery, which is also free and houses local designs and artefacts, and visiting art exhibits.
The Lanes is the oldest part of Brighton, from its origins as a fishing village. The North Laine area holds Brighton’s most bohemian selection of shops. Whether you want a bonsai tree, an obscure comic, vintage clothing or a fixed-wheel bike, you can get them in the North Laine. In fact, you could get all of those on Sydney Street, which is one small part of the area.
The best part of the Marina is the row of restaurants looking out over the harbour area, where you can eat with a view of the boats and yachts moored there. You can even eat on a boat; one of the most popular restaurants is in a converted ship.
After eating, why not take a ride out on one of the boats? You can take a dolphin tour and even if Flipper isn’t playing ball, you’ll get a different perspective on Brighton from out on the water.
Brighton is only a few minutes drive from the South Downs, a national park that can be walked and cycled to your hearts content. Further to the west, there is the historic town of Arundel, with its restored Castle and wildfowl lake, both worth a trip if you’re staying locally for a week or more and it is easily reached by train as well as car.
