Volk's Electric Railway

Aquarium station, Madeira Drive, by the Palace Pier

Address: Aquarium Station, Madeira Drive, Brighton BN2 1EN
  • Activity
  • Outdoors
  • Cheap and cheerful
  • Best in Spring, Summer

Ride the little wooden carriages of the world's oldest working electric railway, which has trundled along the beach since 1883.

Why it's a good date: Silly, charming and over in minutes, which is exactly the point. It runs in the warmer months, so ride one way and walk back along the front.
