Embark on an easy 3.5-mile (5.6 km) hike from Brighton to Hove, a coastal journey that takes about 1 hour and 25 minutes with a minimal elevation gain of just 53 feet (16 metres). This largely flat route follows the promenade, offering classic British seaside views across Brighton Beach and the expansive sea. You will pass the iconic, skeletal remains of the West Pier, a striking photographic subject, especially as you move towards Hove's wider promenade and green Hove Lawns.
This accessible route is perfect for a leisurely stroll, free from mud and suitable for various fitness levels. You can easily access the trail from central Brighton, with numerous cafes and rest stops available along the way for refreshments. Public transportation is also readily available at various points, making it simple to start or end your walk and return to your desired location.
The route offers a vibrant blend of Brighton's bustling seafront and Hove's more tranquil charm. Starting near the lively Brighton Palace Pier, you will experience the city's energy before reaching the historic West Pier, a testament to Victorian engineering. As you continue, the scenery transitions to the picturesque Hove Lawns, adorned with brightly colored beach huts, providing a unique visual contrast and a memorable seaside experience.
