This is a fab tour of Brighton. Totally unique in that you don't have to book or even buy tickets for it. I got sucked into it whilst passing the meeting point on the pier and was so glad to have found it. I learned so much about Brighton from the lively fun guide and was surprised to learn that they don't get paid to do this so as a result they accept tips. What a fantastic tour! Affordable and accessible to all.
I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning a bit of Brighton's history.

It meets at the Brighton Pier Tues-Sat throughout the summer at 11am and 1.30pm.

A beautiful square in Hove, just slightly away from the main strip, but not that far. The Regency buildings themselves are really grand, and the square is really cool to hang out and chill in. All the facades are the same colour (or supposed to be), but each is slightly different. They are beautiful buildings.

Just past the angel on the seafront - two streets west from Embassy Court (the lovely art deco building).

Just ten minutes by bus from the centre of Brighton and you're in the middle of some incredible countryside. Take the bus to Devil's Dyke (ignore the beefeater style pub by the bus stop) and take a walk round the top of the dyke, or (armed with a map) go exploring. There are some great country pubs and villages to be found -- great for dog walking, great for kite flying or paragliding and a real breath of fresh air if you want to blow a hangover away!

Buses go to Devil's Dyke from the centre of Brighton.

Every evening around dusk thousands of starlings congregate and swarm in an amazing display over what was once the West Pier. Simply an incredible natural phenomenon. Best seen at sunset with a cold pint.

Sit on the beach and look at the sun setting - (my favoured spot is in between the two piers, looking just over the burnt out one ...) call me a freak but if it's a good day for weather - you could almost be anywhere in the world.

Free wireless internet access on Brighton beach, between the piers. Leave the office behind, and work from the beach!

If it's a very clear day, you can see the Isle of Wight. Magical!
