home of the Prince Regent, this is Brighton’s top attraction. The entrance to it is on North Street but the best view of it is from the front on The Old Steine Road. The Pavilion has some lovely gardens you can sit in and a cafe in summer months. I definitely recommend doing the audio guided tour of inside.

turn left out of the flat and left again, then keep going until you hit the sea! You’ll find this beach is less busy than the main Brighton beach too. If you turn right there is a nice walk along the promenade with the brightly coloured beach huts and a nice cafe called Lexi’s cafe if you carry on you will reach the Rockwater restaurant, with outside seating for coffee or cocktails. If you turn left you are heading towards the West Pier and past Marrocco’s which is famous for its ice cream. If you fancy fish and chips while on the beach the nearest Chip shop is called Chippy Chips along the Kingsway (If you are on the seafront walk up Sussex Road and turn left)

the view from the top on a clear day is fantastic (so I hear- I can’t stand heights!). It’s best to get your tickets in advance as you’ll have to wait at least an hour for a time slot during the summer season. www.britishairwaysi360.com
