Foredown Tower Countryside Centre and camera obscura (Brighton & Hove)


Appealing to everyone with an interest in science, nature and the environment, Foredown Tower Countryside Centre offers breathtaking views across the beautiful Sussex Downs, as well as exhibitions, countryside research and scientific data.
It is home to one of only two operational camera obscuras in South East England.
The building, an Edwardian water tower built in 1909, is of architectural interest and has been converted with considerable care to preserve many original features.
The Tower is also a popular starting point for walks on the Downs and provides details of routes and maps for walks to suit all abilities and ages.
