    Brighton days

    June 10, 2023 in England ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    Saturday and what a packed place Brighton is and how diverse in it's shopping precincts as well. It's certainly a stunning town, but very busy...
    Yesterday I walked around 10 kilometres right up the beach and back to get an idea of the place. A stunning walk along the promenade beach for miles!
    I then got lost in town as I do..but soon found my way to my accommodation again. Came across the amazing Royal Pavilion and won't mind visiting this for a morning.....
    From Wikipedia:-
    "The Royal Pavilion, and surrounding gardens, also known as the Brighton Pavilion, is a Grade I listed[1] former royal residence located in Brighton, England. Beginning in 1787, it was built in three stages as a seaside retreat for George, Prince of Wales, who became the Prince Regent in 1811, and King George IV in 1820. It is built in the Indo-Saracenic style prevalent in India for most of the 19th century. The current appearance of the Pavilion, with its domes and minarets, is the work of architect John Nash, who extended the building starting in 1815."

    So my explorations go on..I've added a couple of scenes of the pavilion, my walk down the promenade and a couple of the dining room at my accommodation.
