Things To Do In Brighton
Tuesday, August 31, 2010 5:32Brighton, England, is just bursting with things to do! Attractions range from walking on the beautiful beaches of Brighton or joining in some beachfront sports to visiting the Royal Pavilion, the summer home of British royalty for many years.
Brighton is, of course, known for its long, cool, stretch of beaches. As a matter of fact, Brighton Beach has been voted a Top 10 city beach attraction destination in the world! The Brighton Pier is behind the beach so you can jump right out of the water and into one of Brighton’s many beachside clubs when it gets too warm on the beach. Enjoy Brighton’s world famous blue flag beach, take a leisurely stroll along the water, or stop into one of Brighton’s cafes or restaurants for a cool drink or something to eat. You won’t be able to wait for evening when Brighton’s evening venues open for a whirlwind night of clubbing.
The Royal Pavilion is the jewel in the crown of Brighton’s many attractions. Built by the architect John Nash in the early nineteenth century, it was the “Palace by the Sea” of the Prince Regent, George IV. Today it is still one of the most beautiful as well as exotic structures in all of the UK. The furniture and art is magnificent and includes many historical pieces lent to the Royal Pavilion by The Queen. Visit the tearoom that overlooks the reconstructed gardens of the Palace and the Palace Shop.
There are cool, relaxing green spaces within the town of Brighton. There are 98 parks and gardens in Brighton and Hove, including historic Kipling Gardens in Rottingdean. The Gardens were once part of The Elms, the home of Rudyard Kipling from 1897 – 1902. There is even a “wild garden” where one can picnic, and herb garden and a croquet lawn. It’s only about three miles from the Brighton Pier.
There are 14,000 acres of countryside in and around Brighton. In fact, the area has been awarded National Park status in recognition of the natural beauty of the South Downs. There are walks and trails, bicycling, all sorts of plants and wildlife – a place of unequaled beauty to be enjoyed by visitors and locals alike.
Those are just some of the places to visit and attractions to see in Brighton. Without doubt it is worth visiting, so be sure to find some time to experience it for yourself.
