Arundel - Take A Day-Trip From Brighton...

Within an hours reach of Brighton is the lovely town of Arundel – a perfect daytrip from Brighton. Arundel is one of the most breathtaking small English towns, due to it’s location upon the Arun valley as well as the majestic Arundel Castle which towers over the city like a giant stone guardian.

Arundel Castle was built in the 11^th Century and with it’s location atop a hill, you can get great views of Arundel as well as the Sussex countryside from many places around the castle. Visitors can also walk through many of the ancient rooms of the castle and absorb the grand collection of paintings, furniture and armour inside. There are also some magnificent gardens to walk through.

Also worth visiting is Amberley Working Museum, which is home to several random ancient items including crafts, telephones, buses and even trains.

Arundel has a lovely ancient town feel, and it’s a classic example of a charming English village with stunning, picturesque scenery, narrow streets and old buildings brimming with character. There are a couple of small pubs and restaurants to soak in the atmosphere after taking in the views. Some other attractions within Arundel, or nearby, are the Cathedral, Arundel Wildfowl & Wetlands Centre and Denmans Gardens.
