2. Explore Duke’s Lane’s Boutiques and Independent Shops

Dukes Lane is renowned for its charming independent boutiques and high-end retail stores.

3. Visit the Iconic Brighton Pavilion and Gardens

A 10-minute walk from Dukes Lane, the Royal Pavilion is a must-visit during the autumn season. The Pavilion’s stunning architecture, with its Indian and Oriental influences, contrasts beautifully against the golden hues of the surrounding gardens. Stroll through the park as fallen leaves crunch underfoot, or take a guided tour of the palace’s interior to learn about its fascinating royal history.

Autumn is also the perfect time to explore the Pavilion Gardens, which are quieter than in summer, offering a peaceful retreat where you can enjoy the beauty of Brighton’s changing seasons.

5. Take a Seaside Stroll Along Brighton Beach

Autumn might not be the time for sunbathing, but Brighton’s famous beach is still a must-see. Wrap up in a cosy scarf and take a brisk walk along the pebbled shoreline, enjoying the fresh sea air and stunning views of the pier. Autumn sunsets are particularly spectacular, with the sky painted in shades of orange and pink, making for the perfect photo opportunity.

If you’re feeling adventurous, take a ride on the British Airways i360, Brighton’s iconic observation tower. The panoramic views of the city and coastline are especially beautiful in autumn, with the trees showing off their vibrant fall colours.
