Brighton on the South Coast was much favoured by George IV for his gout and horse riding. Later Queen Victoria was not so amused. The Royal Pavilion is definitely worth a visit, the Lanes are a little trendy and the pier warrants a stroll around.

ReplyDeleteQuite so - hence the in and out in a day...
DeleteA good place to go for the day.
ReplyDeleteThe Royal Pavilion looks quite swanky too.
The Royal Pavillion was really interesting even for Philistines like me!
DeleteI'd like to go to Brighton again, haven't been there in ages. We have to align our schedules better… at least we seemed to have been in the same country ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou are always welcome!
DeleteThe last time I was here was under the old management during St. Patrick's day. Not a great food experience. The new place is much better. Taxi Brighton to London
