Brighton; Urban Ramble, part 2

Only two of us for the second and more strenuous half of the walk which takes us up the valley via Richmond Heights to the "Pepperpot", the last remaining element of an Itaianate villa. Passing through the lovely Queens Park, we proceeded up Whitehawk Hill to the aerial mast and then past Brighton Racecourse, one of only two horseshoe shaped courses in the UK (the other, Epsom, does not form a complete circuit either).

Passing through a tunnel under the racecourse, we walked downhill along the Tenantry Down Allotments to the Brighton Cemetery, way more interesting than you might think! Then it was downhill to The Level, a restored park area where two streams converge, past St Peter's Church and back to the hotel.

Brighton is a wonderful place and I look forward to returning.Read more
