and chips here at specialist restaurants such as Palm Court Fish Restaurant and Horatio’s Bar.

furniture and exceptional artwork. The Royal Pavilion has been involved in a massive restoration plan costing
£10million where most furnishings and unique decorations have been re created.

The thrill of the race is exemplified at this renowned race course where horseback riders are seconds away from the

packages must be booked five days prior to the race.

most recognised countryside spots. Cyclists can also travel to Rottingdean, a seaside village, which is located on
the coast of Brighton. It is an area that became more prominent amongst artists and politicians as it harps back
the references made in the Doomsday Book.

and natural beauty tie in together to create an enjoyable experience for you.
