Brighton



Oh I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside!



Brighton, on the south coast of England, on a sweltering hot day is such fun ... do take a look! I love the quirky shops, the beautiful gardens and the Royal Pavilion, and the beach, and the food, oh ... and all of it. We were lucky enough to visit on a beautiful sunny day - the best of the year so far.




The Royal Pavilion Gardens
 
 
 
 
Remains of The West Pier
 
 
 
 
 
Brighton Pavilion built in 1787 for George, Prince of Wales as a seaside retreat, he
 was later to become Prince Regent in 1811 and then George 1V in 1821: (b1762 - d1830)
 The building was later redesigned and extended in 1815 by the architect John Nash.

And then to my favourite restaurant
 
 
 
The Salt Room attached to The Hilton Hotel
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Lemonade cocktail
 
 
 
 
Sea trout, courgette spaghetti, oyster, potato and wild asparagus
 
 
 
 
 
Monkfish, seaweed butter, samphire, bacon and clams
 
 
 
 
A taste of the pier!
 
 
 
 
 
 
This has to be the best pudding of all time:
It is called Tastes Of The Pier:
 
Candy Floss
Ice Cream With Honeycomb
Custard Doughnuts
Rhubarb Marshmallow
Coconut Ice
Chocolate Pebbles
Lemon Meringue Fudge
 
and
 
Yes We Did Share It!
