Brighton Palace Pier

Highlight • Monument

Brighton Pier, also known as the Brighton Palace Pier or the Palace Pier, is a historic pier on Brighton seafront.

It was originally constructed in 1823 as a simple promenade pier, but was extensively rebuilt and expanded in 1899 to its current length of 1,722 feet (525 m).

The much-loved landmark features a wide range of attractions including rides, restaurants, bars and arcades.

The pier was damaged by a fire in 2003, but was subsequently restored and reopened to the public. Today, it remains a vibrant and bustling hub of activity, attracting millions of visitors each year.

Royal Pavilion Brighton

Highlight • Monument

The Royal Pavilion in Brighton seems somewhat unreal with its extraordinary architecture. The impressive palace immediately catches the eye and is reminiscent of the well-known Indian Mughal palaces. The Royal Pavilion was built between 1815 and 1822 by King George IV during his time as Prince of Wales. After the Second World War, the Royal Pavilion was extensively restored.

Devil's Dyke

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Great hill clime, great views and a great downhill back to Brighton. All road, can be busy but much of this is by cycle only parts of the road.

Devil's Dyke Road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This is one of my favourite roads when it comes to road cycling in Sussex.

If you're cycling over the downs via Devil's Dyke, you have a choice of two roads - Devil's Dyke Road and Saddlescombe Road. Although the latter is more direct, Devil's Dyke Road is much quieter and more scenic. There's even a well-surfaced gravel track running parallel to the road.

Highlight • Viewpoint

The climb up will get your legs and lungs working... but the views more than make up for it and the descent into Brighton is then a glorious reward! Well worth the hard work!
