WHY BRIGHTON & SOUTH DOWNS

Sea air, chalk downs and a city that never takes itself too seriously.

Brighton pairs a lively seafront with the rolling chalk of the South Downs right behind it — restorative in two registers: bracing coastal walks by day, good food and easy nights after. Under an hour from London.
