Arundel, Castle town, Cathedral Town and the town with one Church that has two denominations. That's the headlines but it doesn’t scratch the surface of the history, architecture, businesses and attractions that fill the town. A Tour is the best way to learn and see why the town is here and is unique in many ways.

Arundel has had a Castle since 1067 it is said although there has been some kind of fortress there, probably Saxon, for much longer. The history of the Castle and the Dukes are baffling, and so I suggest a visit to get acquainted with both. Outside the Castle are the delights of the town for you to explore, enjoy the hospitality, the feel of the small arcades, the galleries and antique shops. Explore the variety of cafes and restaurants, check out the take home gift shops or just sit beside the river.
A visit to the Cathedral is a must, although it was only built in 1868 and not a Cathedral until 1964, its Gothic design and impressive Rose stain glass window is a sight to see, and the acoustics inside, if your lucky to hear the organ playing, is awesome.
So, Arundel, why so special, it’s hard to say precisely, ambling along Tarrant Street, the towns array of different architectural styles, the coffee shops and pubs, the lovely independent shops. The events across the year from Corpus Christie, Farmers Markets to Festival and Christmas, the walks, the river bank, the lake, the park, so much to see and do at a leisurely pace.
