Parks and Gardens in Brighton

Fancy a break from city life? With its vibrant, energetic nature, it’s easy to forget that Brighton is also home to an abundance of green open spaces. The perfect complement to the buzz of city life, the parks and gardens in Brighton offer a tranquil resting place for the weary shopper or worn out reveller.

From the splendour of the Royal Pavilion Gardens, an oasis of Regency calm in the hub of the city, to the picturesque duck pond and Victorian Clock Tower of Queens Park, there are a wealth of gardens and parks in Brighton to choose from. Preston Park offers a beautiful Rookery Rock Garden with twisting walkways, streams and waterways, whilst St Ann's Well Gardens in Hove is perfect for a round of tennis or a family picnic.
