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.

Steve Ovett Statue

Highlight • Monument

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.

Brighton Fishing Museum

Highlight • Monument

Fishing is to Brighton like fish and chips are to England. Directly on the promenade is the free Brighton Fishing Museum, which tells the story of the development of the small fishing village of Brighthelmstone from the 17th century to the present day. The best way to process your impressions is with a pint in the Fortune Of War pub.

The West Pier is a ruined pier in Brighton, England. Designed by Eugenius Birch, it opened in 1866. It was the first Grade I listed pier in England, but has fallen into disrepair since its closure to the public in 1975. As of 2025, only a partial metal frame remains.
