Private Tour of Brighton, Arundel and Amberley with Chauffeurs UK
 Nestling between the South Downs & the English Channel on the south coast in East Sussex, Brighton is a rich mix of Regency heritage and boutique shopping. The Royal Pavilion's lavish interiors combine Chinese-style decorations with magnificent furniture and furnishings. Adorned with gilded dragons, carved palm trees and imitation bamboo staircases, the Pavilion's unique style mixes Asian exoticism with English eccentricity. Daring and inventive colours feature throughout and there are many original items on loan from HM The Queen. A pebble's throw from the beach and the Royal Pavilion, explore the history of "The Lanes". Here, four hundred year-old fishermen's cottages and flint stone exteriors sit alongside cosy pubs and brick-paved twittens, whilst the spirit of royal, literary and cinematic connections of a bygone age linger in the air. Wander through Black Lion Lane, once allegedly the escape route of Charles II, or meander into Quadrophenia Alley - a nod to the Mods and Rockers of the 60s and a key scene in the cult film Quadrophenia. Explore nearly 1,000 years of history at Arundel Castle, situated in magnificent grounds overlooking the River Arun in West Sussex and built at the end of the 11th century by Roger de Montgomery, Earl of Arundel. Ancestral seat of The Dukes of Norfolk and set in 40 acres of sweeping grounds and gardens, the castle is home to paintings and furniture, tapestries and stained glass, china and clocks, sculpture and carving, heraldry and armour all shown in splendid surroundings.The West Sussex villages of Amberley, Houghton Bridge and North Stoke, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at the foot of the South Downs, flourish with pubs, B&B's and attractions, including the Amberley Wildbrooks and Amberley Working Museum. The area is popular for walking, birdwatching and other country pursuits.
Amberley has a 12th century church, a junior school, shop and post office, pottery, four pubs in the immediate area, a riverside restaurant and one of the finest country house hotels in the country. Visitors to Amberley in the past range from Charles II, who stayed at the castle, to World War 2 pilots, who were stationed at Tangmere and billeted at the Bridge Inn. The beauty of this typically English village has attracted countless artists over the years. Prices per vehicle, not per person
