Brighton has transformed itself several times since the Middle
Ages: once a small fishing village, it became the most fashionable
seaside resort in the 18th century, a thriving tourist destination
in the railway age and a liberal, multicultural university city in
the 20th century. 200 years ago the party-loving King George IV
built himself the playground of all royal playgrounds here: an
oriental fantasy of a palace with onion-shaped domes and an exotic
faux-Chinese interior, the Royal Pavilion. Today Brighton, together
with its surroundings, is culturally one of the most exciting
places in Britain, boasting an impressive coast, lined with chalk
cliffs and the rolling South Downs as a backdrop. Just 10
kilometres east of Brighton is the picturesque county town of
Lewes, with a stunning array of historic buildings, including an
11th-century Norman castle. The people of Lewes are known for their
revolutionary spirit, and host the biggest bonfire celebration in
the country every year on 5 November.
