Discover the historic houses around Brighton & Hove

Since the flamboyant Prince Regent first stepped out in Brighton in 1783, his extraordinary seaside palace, the Royal Pavilion, has become synonymous with the city of Brighton & Hove. Transformed by John Nash, between 1815 and 1822, into one of the most dazzling and exotic buildings in the British Isles, the Palace really is a must see on any visit to the city.

Did you know there are a great array of historic houses to see in Brighton & Hove and the surrounding areas? The impressive Preston Manor conjurs up the heady atmosphere of an Edwardian country house just moments from the city, slightly further afield you'll discover the wonders of Charleston, once home to the Bloomsbury Set.
