The south coast town of Brighton dates as far back as the Domesday Book, but it really expanded as a health resort in Victorian times and its popularity has never waned, with up to eight million visitors each year. Landmarks include the Royal Pavilion, the pier, and the world oldest electric railway. The beaches and marina also bring visiors to the town, as well as the varied nightlife. Live music, night clubs and restaurants all play their par, meaning Brighton has kept itself vibrant and modern while other English seaside resorts have faltered.
