A great place to have a walk and see the seven sisters. I understand this area is of particular interest to Chinese tourists. Unless you have a particular interest in the Seven Sisters I would recommend seeing the closer attractions first as Brighton has a lot to offer.

Everything Else
If you are staying for a few days you may wish to see Lewes. There is a castle here, you may be able to book a brewery tour and there are lots of small shops and a good flea market. A good place for just getting Sunday lunch. I would not recommend visiting here until you have seen all the other closer areas

If your stay is a few days and you have a car this is a great place to visit a traditional English Pub, see the English countryside and if you have kids to hire a boat and row along a very picturesque river. This is a wonderful place to go when the weather is good. You will also need a car to get here. If you are going here I would suggest going mid-week as it can get quite busy at weekends.

Parks & Nature
This is a wonderful place to hire a bike and ride to from the property. You can alternatively catch the Volks Railway to here and walk to Rottingdean along this coastal park. You can enjoy a different stretch of seaside, look in the rockpools when the tide is out and there are lots of nice beaches where you can take a picnic too. The end point is Rottingdean and there is an ice cream stop at the half way point. I would especially recommend going here during the week when it is quieter when the weather is good. If you are missing the gym riding here and back is a great morning alternative.
