 Monkeying around |
Alfriston Brighton, East Sussex BN26 5QS United Kingdom +44 1323 874100 http://www.drusillas.co.uk |
This park first opened as a tea cottage with pet corner in 1923, and now claims, justifiably, to be probably the best small zoo in the UK. The emphasis is on fun and learning with an extensive children's play area, train rides, restaurant and cafe. There is an eclectic mix of generally smallish creatures which includes meerkats, owls, penguins and otters. The route around the zoo follows a clearly marked trail, which means that you can't miss anything. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Vibrant Brighton district |
East of Brighton Pier to Brighton Marina Brighton, East Sussex BN2 United Kingdom |
Bristling with activity, day and night, Kemp Town epitomises the spirit of Brighton, lively, colourful and slightly seedy. This area of town is full of good pubs, antique and junk shops, B&Bs and interesting churches. At the eastern end are Sussex Square and Lewes Crescent, stunning white Regency town houses which have been the home to, among others, Lewis Carroll and Ozzy Osbourne. Kemp Town is also the spiritual home of the city's large gay and lesbian community. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Family park |
Egremont Place Hanover Brighton, East Sussex BN2 2GA United Kingdom |
This is the closest park to the city center and also the most picturesque and offering the widest variety of attractions - including open-air performances of Shakespeare plays in the summer. There is also an excellent children's play area, a cafe, tennis courts and a well-designed small lake, complete with ducks waiting to be fed. It is all landscaped with gentle hills and magnificent trees. It is a bit of a climb to get here from central Brighton though, so be warned. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Brighton's parish church |
York Place The Level Brighton, East Sussex BN1 4GU United Kingdom +44 1273 67 6051 |
One of the finest early Gothic Revival churches in the UK, built between 1824-1828 by Sir Charles Barry, who later designed the Houses of Parliament. Barry designed an ambitious tower to provide a termination to the north end of the Old Steine. The lower part of the tower has a buttressed screen with flying buttresses at the four corners, allowing for three high entrances. The interior is less impressive, but St Peter's nevertheless became the parish church of Brighton in 1873. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Britain's first electric railway |
285 Madeira Drive Brighton BN2 1EN United Kingdom +44 1273 29 2718 / +44 (0)1273 68 1061 |
Built and opened in 1883 by local inventor Magnus Volk, this was the first public electric railway in the UK. It runs from Brighton Pier to Black Rock, near Brighton Marina, considerably more than its original quarter-mile journey. The track is right next to the beach and it is a lovely little ride along the seafront in open-sided carriages. A long running and ever popular attraction. Review © 2007, Wcities |
