In and around Arundel there are excellent
points of interest and places to eat and stay
The town of Arundel itself is dominated
by the Castle, the second largest in England. Originally
established at the time of the Norman Conquest, this impressive
building was later to become the home of the Dukes of
Norfolk, hereditary Earls Marshall of England. It was
obviously a wise move since successive members of the
family have remained in residence for over 400 years!
It's well worth a visit. Please note it is closed between
November to April
This side of the Castle walls, the
town is a visitors dream - As well as the beautiful architecture
of this lovely Georgian market town there are some quite
individual shops to look around with the quaint narrow
streets, full of antique shops and eating places, is all
set above the tranquil setting of the River Arun
The Cathedral is open all year, and free. It is a beautiful place to have a quiet wander
There are some amazing walks around the area one being
through Arundel Park for about 4 miles and has the most
breath taking scenery over towards Amberly and Houghton
Places to visit nearby include Chichester, Petworth, Goodwood,
Singleton and fishbourne just to name a few
