Chilling at the beach

We're getting chilly just looking at these snow-covered beach huts in East Sussex - and that hardy cyclist slogging through the white stuff. In the summer, the colourful huts that line the seafront in Brighton and Hove are in huge demand. You can't stay in them overnight, but they give you a place to change your clothes and stash your belongings, which makes a day at the beach less messy and generally more pleasant. This coastal city is also known for attractions like Brighton Palace Pier and the i360 tower, which, in normal times, takes visitors 450ft (137m) up for a 360-degree view across Brighton, the South Downs and English Channel.
