    Hiking

    Oldest electric train in Great Britain and a Brighton highlight, because a ride on the Volk’s Electric Railway with a gauge of 825 millimeters is not just for train lovers. The route between the final stops “Aquarium Station” and “Black Rock” offers wonderful views of the beach.

    Here in Brighton, the first electric railway was put into operation on 4 August 1883, known as the People's Electric Railway
