Brighton Essentials

Brighton combines Regency architectural grandeur with Victorian seaside heritage. The Royal Pavilion showcases exotic Indo-Saracenic design, while the Victorian Brighton Palace Pier and the skeletal remains of the West Pier define the shoreline. The city’s history is preserved in the narrow 16th-century alleys of The Lanes and Volk’s Electric Railway, the world's oldest operating electric line. Modern landmarks like the 162-meter i360 observation tower stand alongside cultural staples like the historic aquarium and the independent boutiques of North Laine.

Coastal & Maritime

Explore Brighton's maritime history through its iconic shingle beach and a collection of offshore shipwrecks in the English Channel. While the shoreline offers a classic Victorian seaside experience, the surrounding waters contain significant 19th and 20th-century wrecks. These include the City of London, an 1875 iron steamship, and several vessels lost during the World Wars, such as the torpedoed City of Brisbane and the armed trawler HMT Ocean Sunlight.

Historic Landmarks

Explore the architectural evolution of the Sussex coast through these five historic sites. The selection spans from the 11th-century ruins of the Cluniac Priory of St Pancras and the Norman double-motte Lewes Castle to the industrial heritage of the 1802 Rottingdean Windmill. Brighton’s maritime identity is represented by two distinct structures: the Grade II* listed Victorian Palace Pier, opened in 1899, and the skeletal remains of Eugenius Birch’s 1866 West Pier, a significant example of mid-Victorian seaside engineering.
