Book your weekend away and visit the renowned Brighton Lanes
Once the heart of the fishing town of Brighthelmstone, The Lanes is Brighton’s historic quarter. Just a stone’s throw from the beach and the Royal Pavilion, you can soak up the atmosphere of a medieval town with its late 16th and 17th century houses.
One of the few remaining old buildings is the Cricketers Arms, now the oldest public house in the town centre, said to date from around 1545. Perhaps most famously, this is also the pub immortalised by Graham Greene in his classic novel ‘Brighton Rock’.
Wandering down its brick-paved twittens with the sound of the buskers livening up the streets, lose yourself in the fabulous independent jewellery and antique shops. You’ll also find some great independent boutiques, nestled amongst designer shops and galleries.
With its array of fantastic restaurants, quaint tea rooms and traditional pubs, visitors to The Lanes will be spoilt for choice when you need a bite to eat or a break from shopping.
Don’t forget to also check out Brighton’s bohemian North Laine district.
