Royal Pavilion - Beautiful Thieves

After checking out the pier we went to explore Brighton and found the Royal Pavilion.

While the other girls bought tickets for the rides on the pier, two of us headed into the city and wandered around downtown. We made our way through the streets and stumbled upon the Royal Pavilion.

The Royal Pavilion began building in 1787 and was completed in 1823. In 1815 John Nash extended and redesigned the exterior of the building and Frederick Crace and Robert Jones designed the extravagant interior.

This building is gorgeous and the park that surrounds the pavilion is lovely. The large trees and beautifully manicured lawns made for the perfect backdrop for this unique building.

After walking we hit up Harry Ramsden‘s fish and chips and took our food to the pebble beach for a view as we ate. The pebbles were weird at first, and kind of uncomfortable, but once you settle in, the rocks are nicer than sand, and a major plus is that you aren’t dirty when you leave.

We were also able to see the other girls heading back from their morning on the rides. It was the perfect morning in Brighton.
