1. Mermaid Street

Mermaid St, Rye TN31 7EY

Mermaid Street is often named one of the UK's most Instagrammed streets, and it is so easy to see why as its whimsical and historical charm and numerous great places to eat and shop will no doubt win you over.


2. West pier or Brighton Pier

4 Madeira Dr, Brighton BN2 1ET

These two iconic structures of the Brighton seafront make fantastic photos. But for extra drama try a sunrise or sunset photo shoot to capture a vibrant display of colour that encapsulates the very essence of Brighton itself.

The beautiful flowers of the Regency-style garden and the grand Indo-Saracenic architecture style of Brighton Pavillion make for a great Instagram image or a beautiful portrait for the family photo album or scrapbook.


5. Nyman's Gardens

7. Seven Sisters

1-2 Coastguard Cottages, Cuckmere Haven, Seaford BN25 4AR

Any image with the Seven Sisters in the background is going to be beautiful but we think the shot of the cute coastguard cottages is hands-down one of the most iconic photos of the British coastline that everyone needs to attempt.


8. Arundel Castle

Arundel Castle, High St, Arundel BN18 9LH

Dramatic drone shots or fairytale portraits, Arundel Castle, will elevate any Instagram feed from drab to delightful. And if you're looking for something a little different, why not visit during one of Arundel Castles medieval theme days for a little dress up. Is #medievalcore a thing?


9. Charleston Farm House

Firle, West Firle, Lewes BN8 6LL

If you're after artsy bohemian and Cottagecore vibes for your Instagram feed, Charleston Farm House is a must-visit. This former home of Bloomsbury group artists Vanessa Bell (Virginia Woolf's sister) and Duncan Grant is utterly unique; the exterior is positively gorgeous in summer with luscious flowers and greenery, and the inside is filled with quirky art murals.


10. Blaker Street
