Brighton

The landscape around Brighton is defined by the English Channel and the chalk slopes of the South Downs, which have shaped both the city’s dense seafront and its long connection with seaside tourism. Once a modest fishing settlement, Brighton became a fashionable Regency resort under the Prince Regent, whose extravagant Royal Pavilion remains its most distinctive landmark. The Victorian Brighton Palace Pier, opened in 1899, extends from the pebble beach into the Channel, while the narrow Lanes preserve the pattern of the old town.
