As a middle-distance runner, he won gold medals in the 800 meters at the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games. Ovett set five world records in the 1500 meters and one mile and achieved a world record in the two-mile. From 1977 to 1980, he won 45 consecutive 1500-meter and mile races.

Volk’s Electric Railway

Highlight • Monument

Oldest electric train in Great Britain and a Brighton highlight, because a ride on the Volk’s Electric Railway with a gauge of 825 millimeters is not just for train lovers. The route between the final stops “Aquarium Station” and “Black Rock” offers wonderful views of the beach.

Madeira Terrace

Highlight • Historical Site

Madeira Terrace is a Grade 2* listed, 865-metre-long stretch of seafront arches and promenade on Madeira Drive in Brighton.
Originally built in the late 1800s, more and more of it has been closed to the public since 2014. This is because the local marine environment has degraded the structure and made it unsafe.

Due to the current level of funding we have for this project and the size of the restoration works we need to do, we’ll be restoring Madeira Terrace in phases.
