      When you go please also check out North Laine. He didn't even touch on it but it's crammed with bric-a-brac shops, antique shops, eclectic and weird shops and some amazing restaurants.
      I live in Eastbourne which is next door. I'd love to meet up lovely ladies or even give you a tour of beautiful Eastbourne and the beauty spots and historic highlights right on our doorstep❤

      Girls, you have just made me oh, so happy with this video. I used to love going down to Brighton with my late parents (RIP), because we would go down there to visit my now late grandparents (RIP), as well as go for some Fish & Chips at the seaside.
      My late mother (RIP) was a Sussex lass, & my father (RIP) a Warwickshire lad, so I have dual-county allegiances here. The last time I ever went down there, was to bury my late grandfather (RIP). That was almost 11 years ago, miserable weather for a miserable occasion. Again, thank you girls so much for bringing back so many happy memories for me personally.

      What you may not know, is that The Grand Hotel in Brighton was bombed by the IRA in 1984 in an attempt to kill Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and members of her cabinet. 5 people were killed in the bombing, with many more injured.

    I got lost on Brighton beach when I was about 6. My dad took me to the public toilets, when I came out I didn't immediately see him so decided to make my way back to our spot on a beach with literally thousands of people on in. I got totally lost, some people found me and took me to the police tent where a policeman bought me an ice cream. My frantic parents found me shortly thereafter and were in floods of tears and I was just like "look mummy I got an ice cream". I think my mum is still traumatised about the incident decades later!

    My first visit to Brighton in 1967 was a defining day for me. The Univ of Sussex had been one of my picks for undergraduate study (though I ended up in Montréal). I was invited for interview. I was put up at a guest house in Brighton. The hosts were the first openly gay men I had ever met! Initially bemused, confused, even a tad afraid, as a naïve 17-yr old only child, I ended up having great fun with my hosts. One of my sons is gay and married. My Brighton experience paved the way for my open acceptance of my son and his Oregonian husband. ❤

    The Prince regent who lived in the Pavillion decorated the inside with a very strong Chinese theme, completely ignoring that all the architecture was Indian! It was used as a hospital for Indian soldiers in WW1.
    The most famous depiction of the Prince Regent was by Hugh Laurie in Blackadder III , who portrayed him as the ultimate upper class twit.

      The Royal Pavilion is stunning…top of my ‘must see’ list in Brighton. You can take a room-by-room 360 degree ‘virtual tour’. Search “Virtual tour of the Royal Pavilion - Brighton & Hove Museums”. There’s audio commentary for each room (click arrow at top left of the first room image) and tap black dots super-imposed on the walls for info on notable features. Of course a real life visit is better … but this is a nice “taster”.

      Brighton Pavilion is an amazing, over the top building which verges on the vulgar but is nevertheless entirely mesmerising. It also was full of up-to-date fixtures of the era. George 1V's inspiration for the Pavilion was Sezincote, a large country house in Gloucestershire built by a nabob, i.e., one who had made a fortune working in the Indian subcontinent for the notorious East India Company. It is a much more modest and refined structure than the Pavilion built in the Indian style, with a charming garden laid out with a central water course and geometrical design again in the Moghul style.
      Sezincote is open to the public.

    Best place to live, im from London and love living in Brighton. Its surrounded by beautiful countryside too, right o top of the South Downs National Park, one side of Brighton is East Sussex and the other side is West Sussex. Beachy Head and Cuckmere Haven is beautiful a walkers paradise, Arundel and Chichester in West Sussex is beautiful too. But for me, Brighton is a dog lovers paradise, i love walking my tiny Jack Russell by Brighton Racecourse, with its views all over the city. I think the best place ive visited which is not far is Charleston House, home of Virginia Wolfe and the Bloomsbury set, an artists and a gardeners paradise.❤

  • @escapingreality3306

    One things these videos miss is that behind Brighton, and nearby coastal towns are the South Downs, which in places have fantastic views over the sea, and down the coastline to the Seven Sisters cliffs. Not to mention that the South Downs are the newest national park in the UK. Why is nobody mentioning this? Lewes is a fantastic medieval town with a castle at the top & Priory ruins in the valley, with the Downs as a backdrop.

    I grew up in the country and when my boyfriend wanted to buy a house in Brighton, I was so against it as I'm not a 'city girl' but this place is just so cool and it grew on me so fast! I think there is a place for everyone in Brighton and it does sometimes feel like a mini London but with the added bonus of the sea. I love how inclusive and alternative it is; there's always something to see and do here. I thought I'd be desperate to move back to a quieter area but I've been here for 8 years now and I'm happy.

    Brightonian born and bred here 🙋those seagulls are proper mofos! Getting fish and chips is a must however, never on or near the pier unless you want to get dive bombed by a ton of them!!
    The aquarium is the first in the world, absolutely stunning inside! Victorian architecture, a must see!!
    Brighton was the place to go to be healed of many diseases and ailments. They used to believe drinking the sea water was healing in Regency times.
    The Royal Pavilion was commissioned to be built for the Prince Regent to resemble the Taj Mahal!!
    I really hope you have the opportunity to visit my hometown. Just don't forget to stop and look up at the architecture and history. Quite often people are so consumer by what's in front of their eyes, they don't see the tops of the buildings which are stunning

If it wasn't for the fog you could see the big Shoreham power station chimneys. This was in the late 60's and the big night out was the Top Rank Ballroom and all the big names would play there and you met everyone you knew! Very busy in mid summer - great - loved it!

    As you are going to Brighton , you must(It is a "MUST DO") get on a Bus to the "Devils Dyke" for the . The most stunning view of the Sussex weald. On a fine day you will never forget it. Quintessentially English scene. Then stroll down to the valley for a lunch at the ancient "Shepherd and DOG" in the village below the Dyke. Alongside the ancient pub is the pure spring water gushing from the hills. A scene that has not changed for hundreds of years whilst over the hills is the razzmatazz of international Brighton!

The Devil's Dyke, The Seven Sisters and one I see every time I drive home, the view from Ditchling Beacon. Also Brighton is the home of my football (soccer) team, the mighty Albion. I have watched them since 1972 through good times, bad times and now golden times. Love, hugs and prayers from Sussex, UK.

    I'm a HUGE Elvis fan and, of course, you're right that he loved the dodgems and loved to go on them with his guys. Have you also heard of the 'Zippin Pippin' which was Elvis' favourite roller coaster. He would rent the whole of 'Libertyland Fairground' in Memphis so that he and his friends and family could enjoy the rides and he would ride the 'Zippin Pippin' for hours at a time without stopping. I've been lucky enough to visit Libertyland before it closed. The 'Zippin Pippin' is now the oldest existing roller coaster in US and it is still in operation now in Green Bay, Wisconsin 😍

    Brighton, for me is all the better on a foggy/misty day - far less tourists about and it allows you to discover all those nooks and crannies. The architecture throughout is a wonderful mix of old and new, and the shopping quarter known as The Laines holds many a surprise.
    The gentry built homes on the Montpelier district and those white painted homes today, still exude the grandeur of the time. Built on the higher ground from the coast and fishing village below.
    There is nothing better than an aimless wander around this coast and then heading inland to saviour some fantastic places to eat.

      Unfortunately, these days.. it isn't the nicest place to visit. Brighton is easily one of the best cities in UK, so that is more reason to add it on the 'Must See' list.

    The football (soz soccer) team is affectionately known as the Seagulls and currently plays in the English premier league. If you want to see a traditional English pub I recommend the Basketmakers Arms in the North Lanes area. I live a few miles along the coast but am not a local expert on the city.

    For quite a few years my family and I used to go to Brighton one day a year, around April time, because we were involved in the Sunbeam London to Brighton Run (Vintage and Veteran Motorcycles). Funnily enough - although it was early in the year - I only remember it being sunny and warm. Well, whatever the weather we always had a happy day. A friend offered us the chance of a long weekend in their home in Brighton while they were on holiday elsewhere. The whole family had a wonderful time. Not really doing much - just people watching, walking around the town, beside the sea, along the Pier, trying out different restaurants. There was a completely different atmosphere there that felt truly unique to Brighton. Another great reaction ladies. Thank you. Have a happy day ladies - love from the UK

    One thing that wasn't mentioned in the video you watched is that Brighton is not just popular because it is a famous seaside town turned city, but it is also just about THE most popular conference venue in the whole of the UK. All kinds of annual conferences for all kinds of groups, societies, and professions are held there, which is why there are almost endless hotels, guest houses (bed and breakfast), pubs, restaurants, cafes, etc.

    Seaside piers were originally built for a purely functional purpose ,which was to do with transport .
    Even before the coming of railways people needed to travel about the British Isles but the only transport was to walk ,use horses (either riding or driven) or by boat.
    The coastal trade meant that there was always the possibility of going by sea ,which could be the quickest way but often the towns on the coast had water too shallow for the larger boats .
    So these wooden piers were constructed, leading out as far as the deeper water and passengers would disembark and walk along the pier to the land.
    The coastal towns nearest to London along the South Coast all became very popular for a day`s outing ,Brighton was one of these

    When I had my last motorbike I used to go to Brighton every single weekend and then ride the fabulous coast road up to Dover and back. The highlight of the day was always finishing up on Brighton Pier and getting a portion of noodles from this cracking little noodle stall I used to love! I need a new bike!
    Oh yeah, I have a funny and totally true bike related story about Brighton! When I was working as a motorcycle courier in London we had a new rider who was foreign and still learning English. On his first day he was told to turn up bright and early to make a good impression, which is a typically British expression, and at 8am our controller got a phone call from him saying he was in Brighton and was early to make a good impression!

    I lived in Brighton for ten years. Best time of my life. You wander through the city on any given day and at every turn, something magical is going on. Be it art, music, comedy, theatre... you name it, it's happening everywhere all the time. The nightlife is fantastic. The area also benefits from a microclimate thanks to the topography. It can be positively tropical there and utterly miserable just five/ten miles north. When you come to the UK, Brighton is on your "must do" list.

    You can tell how British I am by the fact that every single time we saw a pub, I instantly felt the recognition "Oh, I've had a few drinks there", most especially with the "Fortune of War" pub on the seafront, but there were at least 6 others I spotted in the background, and in the photos on the beach, etc. 🤣

    Brighton and its neighbour Hove are great places to eat all types of restaurants, cafes, pubs and bars. Chinese, French, Italian, Greek Spanish, British, Mexican, Portuguese Veggie, even Mongolian and a Sudanese, if it is still open. Favourite Pub. The Cricketeers mentioned in the 1930s book and film Brighton Pier.

    Just after leaving high school I worked for a summer on Hastings Pier, and the amount of maintenance they require is extremely high. I mean, some of it you expect as something very exposed to the weather, plus to a lot of corrosive salt in the damp air, and the fact that most of them are historical buildings. However, those wooden decks have to be hosed down at least twice each day during sunny days to prevent the planks from completely drying out and becoming fragile. You can't replace them with artificial planks made from modern resins or plastics, of course, because almost all of these historical piers are listed historical buildings, meaning that parts can only be replaced with authentic materials (and building methods). Hastings Pier has long enclosed sections with hundreds of tall but narrow windows, and those windows have to be cleaned every single day, all of them, to preserve the clear views and the presentation standards that visitors will expect.

    The hills on either side of Brighton & Hove are the south downs chalk cliffs from Dover to the isle of White along the length of the English Channel, on a still morning the mist can roll in from the sea to give a misty morning and a bright sunny day, Brighton is about an hour from London but the BBC did a film where it took apparently only 4 minutes

    I used to head down to Brighton from time to time when I lived in London. My favourite place was the Sea Life Centre. They used to sell little tubs of food to feed the flatfish. They'd swim to the surface for the food and you could sort of pet them. So we'd feed the rays and afterwards go for fish and chips.

    I love English Language - and taught it for many years - so thanks for the Elvis Dodgems vs Bumper Cars anecdote, which got me thinking and searching...turns out that Dodgems is a 1920s USA proprietary name (as "Dodg'em"), from the phrase "dodge them" while Bumper Cars is what the two US brothers who invented them named them. So now we know! Britain only got them in 1928 so I think both terms are US English and we here in the UK were told they were called Dodgems and have stuck with that! Oh, and a Flume (also leat or mill-leat) is a channel that is used to transport water from some source - such as a river - to the top of a waterwheel. This is used to direct water flow onto the blades of the wheel, allowing it to rotate. Love from Wales!

    Hello Natasha & Debbie. Loads of seaside towns have piers. They were made to provide seaside visitors with extra tourism opportunities. Many with theatres at the end. The other thing it gave the seaside was the facility to allow paddle steamers the drop off literally boat loads of visitors and day trips for visitors. I remember as a child the family took a paddle steamer from Bournemouth pier to the Isle of Wight. Not many paddle steamers left now but one, the Waverley, the World’s last sea-going paddle steamer. A few years ago I went from a local town called Penarth’s pier to Ilfracombe’s pier in North Devon. Unfortunately, the piers are prone to fire, and we have lost many piers this way.
    The longest pier in the UK is in Southend-on-Sea. It’s 1.34 miles long and has its own electric railway!

Check out the North Laines area, London Road with The Duke of York Cinema, St. Anne's Well Gardens, Preston Park, The Level, Kemp Town, Hove, Brighton Marina... and soooo much more. Not to mention some of the cool villages and towns close to Brighton such as Rottindean, Lewes, and Arundel.
    Also, before you come do check out all the live shows (theatre, comedy, music, food) and festivals and try to coincide your visit with something you would like to see.
    Oh.... and Brighton Pride is fantastic!! ❤❤
    Two days may be too short of a time to enjoy all Brighton has to offer, and to really unwind in the fantastic vibe of the city (on the whole it's happy, welcoming, inclusive, and non-judgemental). In fact.... I'm not sure you will want to leave 😊😊😊

The famous song 'Scarborough Fayre', is a traditional ballad recalling the ancient 40 day summer market held there in medieval times, & it's in Yorkshire! Enjoy.

While there we witnessed a sea gull swoop down and stole an ice cream from a 3 year old girl, knocking her to the ground, she was OK mum and dad were at hand, but about 10 other seagulls flew in squawking at the offending seagull as if they were telling him off, like that's not what we do. Love your show.
