The seaside town in Sussex is a beautiful place for anyone to live, but holds particular appeal for those with a little more time on their hands.

The city itself is a cultural hub, which plays host to a range of artistic events and festivals, which are sure to cater to a range of tastes.

Brighton is also well renowned as being a diverse and inclusive place, welcoming of people from all backgrounds and walks of life.

Speaking of walking, there’s no shortage of incredible areas to go for a stroll, from The Lanes in the city to the South Downs National Park.

The latter boasts more than 3,000KM of footpaths and rights of way, so when the weather is good you have all sorts of different routes to enjoy.

Brighton is far from a cheap place in which to purchase a property though, with average house prices standing at a monster £447,411 according to Rightmove.
