Best end-of-pier attractions

For traditional fairground fun

Brighton Pier, East Sussex

The end of Brighton Pier holds a collection of fairground rides, including a ghost train, a surviving helter-skelter, dodgems and the Wild River log flume. At the heart of this is the Palace of Fun, a modern, domed structure on the site of the old theatre, with slot machines and arcade games, whose tunes provide a blast of nostalgia for holidays past.
