West Pier Skeleton

Highlight • Structure

The West Pier is a ruined pier in Brighton, England. Designed by Eugenius Birch, it opened in 1866. It was the first Grade I listed pier in England, but has fallen into disrepair since its closure to the public in 1975. As of 2025, only a partial metal frame remains.

Brighton Fishing Museum

Highlight • Monument

Fishing is to Brighton like fish and chips are to England. Directly on the promenade is the free Brighton Fishing Museum, which tells the story of the development of the small fishing village of Brighthelmstone from the 17th century to the present day. The best way to process your impressions is with a pint in the Fortune Of War pub.

Volk’s Electric Railway

Highlight • Monument

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.
