Michael and Julie Bowell Interesting sculptured benches along the promenade which are well constructed with solid materials. Unique artwork which looks good, but personally not sure if goes with the surrounding scenery, will let others judge that for themselves. Otherwise great for photo opportunities!

Philippa Perryman Such a fun day out on the Swan or dinosaur pedalos. Mewsbrook Pond is large but shallow, it feels very safe and peaceful to be pedalling around the island and exploring the water. Really friendly and kind man in charge, he was really friendly and encouraging to my son which I was grateful for. Be careful with opening times, last boat is at 3:30pm not 5pm as shown online.

Sat Bat Had an absolutely amazing time on the ghost walk. The tour guide was very charismatic and funny. We had perfect cold weather with no rain. Learnt about the characters and ghosts of Brighton and the history of some of the buildings and area. It was really reasonable for the whole experience and the time it takes. Highly recommend to any tourist or local!

Catherine Hunt We were staying in Worthing for a few days in July and this was walking distance from our house rental. It’s a beautiful pier with restaurants and art decorations. We lucked out that was a beautiful clear day and we had a glimpse of the sunset.

Reina RK Devil’s Duke is a beautiful place. The views are amazing and everything is very green. There’s a clear path to walk on, and it goes through a small forest with great, tall trees. We even saw cows crossing the path, which was a fun surprise. It’s calm, easy to walk, and perfect for taking photos. Bring comfy shoes and enjoy the fresh air

K. Peake I had a lovely stroll across this park during an early afternoon in the winter, covered in rich trees with green and yellow leaves! Some have a larger width than others and the plants alongside the courts are pretty, much grass can be walked through to the uphill side of the park. The architecture is nice with the clock monument, miniature hut and three-window cafe building behind sloped stairs!
