Arundel Castle

Arundel Castle

Arundel Castle is a medieval fortress and stately home in West Sussex. Visitors can explore the Norman keep, opulent state rooms, and the chapel, or stroll through the formal gardens. The castle's battlements offer sweeping views across the Sussex countryside and the South Downs.

Perched high above the River Arun and the town of Arundel in West Sussex, Arundel Castle is a stunning medieval fortress and stately home. Established shortly after the Norman Conquest in the late eleventh century, it has served as the ancestral seat of the Dukes of Norfolk for over 850 years. After suffering significant damage during the English Civil War, it was grandly restored during the Victorian era, creating the imposing look it has today.

Visitors can wander through opulent state rooms filled with art, tapestries, and treasures, or explore the atmospheric Norman keep, the medieval gatehouse, and the chapel. The grounds are just as impressive, particularly the Collector Earl's Garden, which is famous for its formal layouts and vibrant blooms, peaking during the spring tulip season. From the battlements, you get sweeping views across the South Downs and the Sussex countryside. Blending nearly a thousand years of history with beautiful landscapes, Arundel is a truly memorable place to visit.
