Brighton Excursions
Preston Manor (tel: (01273) 292 770; www.prestonmanor.virtualmuseum.info) is a delightful old manor house with walled gardens at Preston Drove, 3km (2 miles) north of the city centre. Foredown Tower Countryside Centre (tel: (01273) 292 092; www.foredown.virtualmuseum.info) near Portslade to the west of Brighton, is an old water tower which is now home to a countryside centre and one of the two remaining operational camera obscuras in the South East. To the east of Brighton there is a track leading from the marina to Rottingdean, a small village where the poet and writer Rudyard Kipling, author of The Jungle Book, lived from 1897 to 1902. Shoreham Airport (tel: (01273) 296 900; www.shorehamairport.co.uk) is also worth a visit. It has a beautiful Grade II-listed art deco terminal building and is the oldest licensed airfield in the UK.
