Brighton Pier. Formerly Brighton Palace Pier. A little historical background information about piers. On my recent trip to Brighton we went as per usual to promenade along the pier. The piers around the UK are mostly of Victorian origin and they were built at a time without the powerful equipment that we have today ... Read the complete review

It's a dying breed, that's what a pier is!! Fact is along the south coast of England there seem to be very few these days that aren't damaged by fire or vandalism with the pier in Hastings being the most recent casualty of arsonists. It's a shame really as the seaside piers are a great place to be on a summer's day as they give an old ... Read the complete review

Questionable safety on the water raft ride. Watch out! There were some rafts grinding to a halt at the very top, as a result of which our raft caught up with the one ahead at the bottom of the chute, travelling at maximum speed, and collided hard.

Brighton Palace Pier is commonly known as Brighton Pier, as it is the only functioning pier Brighton now has to offer. It is the biggest pier I have ever been on, reaching a massive 58m in width and over 524m in length. In comparison to other notable piers, it is bigger than Bournmouth Pier and Blackpool Pier, but smaller than Southend ... Read the complete review

I maybe shot down in flames but I was somewhat disappointed with Brighton Pier. I visited Brighton with my mother and my two small children for a mini break recently and had high hopes for the holiday. The weather as usual let us down, but the pier even more so. As we entered the pier the first thing that hit me was the ... Read the complete review

“Palace Pier” now just the “Brighton Pier”, I know this name change seems sudden but with uncertainty over the “west pier” the “palace pier” wanted to stamp their dominance upon the new city. Brighton has been a seaside attraction for many years, about 100-200 years but whom cares. ... Read the complete review

Brighton, is I suppose, one of the best known British seaside resorts. Recently I had a two day stay in the town and put up at the New Steine Hotel, which is very convenient for Brighton;s attractions. I guess the big attractions are the Royal Pavillion, the Brighton Marina, the Lanes and,of course, that piece of Victoriana that goes by ... Read the complete review

Although the Palace Pier has had a few problems as of late in the form of fires, my recent visit to it proved that it is still up and running and unlike it's rather sorry sister (the West Pier) is still carrying visitors in their thousands. There is no getting away from the fact that the pier is tacky, and although entrance ... Read the complete review

The Palace pier (free entry) is best visited at night, although it's fun to visit in the daytime and get a good view of Brighton and the sea, it looks really good lit up at night. It is full of the usual fairground type of games and rides, which aren't cheap at £1-£2 each, a family could end up spending rather a lot of money. The ... Read the complete review
