Foredown Tower

Reviewed By jillianar2018

Peter J. Fishenden excelled himself by giving an informative talk and demonstrating the camera Obscura. Highly recommended.

British Airways i360

British Airways i360 is back open and has been accredited with Visit England’s ‘We’re Good to Go’ mark! Escape to the skies to see Brighton and the beautiful South Coast on board British Airways i360, safe in the knowledge they are following Government and industry COVID-19 guidelines. Glide up gently to 138 metres in the futuristic glass viewing pod, conceived and designed by Marks Barfield Architects, creators of the London Eye, and admire 360-degree views across Brighton, the South Downs and, on the clearest days, all the way to the Isle of Wight. Visitors can also enjoy the Nyetimber Sky Bar, an exhibition on how BA i360 was built and beachside shop for beautiful and useful gifts. There are also three outside spaces where guests can enjoy distance dining and drinking: West Beach Bar & Kitchen, West Beach Cafe, and beach huts for street food takeaway.

As we were travelling quite a distance we timed our visit for a sunny day. This BA i 360 pod glides about 500' up a tower for pretty impressive views. Its situated on the old entrance to the now destroyed old pier and is a dominant feature on the Brighton seafront. We didnt have many people joining us so there was plenty of seating in the waiting area and we were through very quickly to 'board' complete with our BA flight tickets :-). Very smooth ride with plenty of chances to view from all angles, only thing is that the sun glare and curvature of the windows does nothing for any decent photos, but the experience is fun. You can see the Seven Sisters way in the distance. It would be helpful if, like the London Eye, small notices were placed around the rim of the pod so visitors could spot buildings a bit more easily - would have thought this was pretty obvious. Drinks were very expensive but they have a captive audience out for a fun time. We are very pleased to have made this trip and would recommend going - £16 each is pretty steep really and they do not have concessions which is surprising too. Think its cheaper online.

The Wish Tower

The Wish Tower is a historic Martello Tower built to protect the UK from possible invasion by Napoleon. It's a fascinating structure and free tours are available via our website. The Tower is nothing to do with the cafe next door, called the Western View and run by the local council. They have a separate Trip Advisor page.
