Arundel Castle

I love this place so much, I have so much nostalgia for the place and it's one of the best preserved castles in the world. This beautiful place is a great day out especially if you go during an event they're always so much fun.

Spent a gorgeous afternoon visiting this castle, taking in the grounds and ate lunch here. Overall a lovely venue with a great history. So glad we opted for a tour of the bedrooms, these were by far my favorite part of the tour.

Amazing Castle to visit! We visited the castle and bedrooms. Been all over the place in the uk and this place was by far one of the best! The castle is so well looked after and restored! There are plenty of small windy stair cases which felt great to be able to access those areas! It was also lovely to see personal touches of the current residing Duke and his life. The staff were attentive and happy to answer any questions. My elderly mum came who is also disabled so we just took our time in the more challenging bits for her like the stairs. They do have buggy’s in the grounds for anyone who needs assistance and wheelchair lifts in the castle for some areas. If you’re wondering whether to do the bedrooms I would say it’s well worth it! I actually enjoyed that the most as it’s quieter than the other areas and the guides have more time to talk with you. The only bit we didn’t have time for was the gardens but we will definitely be back to do those on a nice sunny day!

This rare 11th Century castle has been beautifully repaired and preserved, by the Duke of Norfolk, since it suffered damage during the English civil war. Still privately owned by the Duke of Norfolk's family, it is a ticket-only access but it's a very worthwhile visit. It is an excellent example of British heritage and very well furnished with furniture and artifacts dating back to its birth, and through its amazing history. It provides a breathtaking backdrop, together with the cathedral, to the beautiful town of Arundel. It's such a great town to visit with plenty of parking and a great experience to take you back in time with a visit to the Cathedral, The Castle, a walk through the town and a wander down to Swanbourne Lake for a coffee and pastry, with a beautiful view of the imposing castle's turrets and walls. Go another 700 yards beyond the lake and enjoy an amazing lunch at the Black Rabbit (plenty of parking too) on the Arun river bank, enjoying the views of wild fowl (and canoeists rowing past) while you enjoy the distant view of one of England's best castles and medieval town.

This place is absolutely gorgeous. There is not much else to elaborate on. I would recommend staying for a day and visiting all areas. My favourites were the gardens, Fitzalen chapel and castle itself. I hope the current Duke of Norfolk is able to keep this place open to the public for many generations to come.

Well worth a visit. Tons to see around the castle grounds and a lot inside too. I spent a 2 to 3 hours wandering around. I bought tickets at the gate for the same price as online, no queue on a rainy Sunday in October:)

What a great castle to visit for anyone who enjoys a little historical retreat! Initially, I thought that the tickets were quite pricey, but after the visit I'm happy to admit - they were worth every penny. The size and quality of each and every room you walk through, are exceptional. Each of the rooms is staffed, and the staff members have outstanding knowledge about all of the items, as well as the history of the castle itself. There is cheap parking just in front of the main entrance for convenience.

Very nice castle to visit, very well looked after (it looked new). The gardens were really pretty. We got there history men tour and it was really good fun. The town also had some art festival going on and was really cool with loads to see.
