BRIGHTON has been named as one of the top ten places for a city break in the UK.

It was placed eighth in a list by Conde Nast Traveller magazine.

Writer Rufus Purdy said: “Ever since the Prince Regent pulled on his woolly bathing costume here in the 18th century, Brighton has had a certain cachet.

“There are now as many individually minded hotels and bars to be seen in within the BN1 postcode as there are fortune tellers and fish-and-chip shops, and this year several new additions make the trip even more worthwhile.”

Bristol took the top spot.
