About Arundel

Arundel, a jewel in West Sussex, draws its character from the gentle roll of the South Downs and the meandering Arun River. It lies 5.1 km north of Littlehampton (from Littlehampton: bearing 349°T, OS grid TQ 018 070), and is situated west of Warningcamp village. Historically, Arundel’s fortunes were tied to its commanding castle, a Norman stronghold that has witnessed centuries of English drama, shaping its economy through royal favour and the trade that flowed along its river. The land here, a palette of greens and golds under the wide Sussex sky, has long supported agriculture, a quiet industry that continues to lend a rural cadence to the town's existence, even as its more recent prosperity has been shaped by tourism drawn to its historic heart. Dominating the skyline, Arundel Castle stands as a grand testament to enduring power and architectural evolution, its stone whispering tales of dukes and sieges. The magnificent Arundel Cathedral, a striking Gothic Revival structure, offers a place of solemn beauty, its spires reaching towards the heavens with an almost ethereal grace. The market square, though perhaps less boisterous than in centuries past, still retains the lively spirit of commerce, a place where the scent of fresh produce and local crafts mingles with the sea breeze carried inland from the nearby coast. It is a place where the light, particularly in the late afternoon, seems to catch the ancient stonework with a particular, tender glow, illuminating the enduring spirit of Arundel.
