Arundel Castle and Gardens, Arundel

Brilliant place if you like sub-tropical plants. The Collector Earl's Garden is not to be missed, the plants are amazing and the green oak structures look like stone from afar. Loved the castle too but my main interest was in the gardens.

Beautiful Castle. The views from within are breathtaking. From outside you cant imagine the wonders that await inside. Recommend doing the full package tour. You visit every spot of the castle and literally, when u arrive in some areas, you wont believe this was here the whole time. Dont miss out!

Only visited the gardens and coffee shop. Gardens are wonderful. Several different areas. Some interesting water features. Date- Palm trees and beautifully laid out beds. Toilets in walled garden including disabled. Buggy available to take people to garden if required, as it it a long up-hill walk. If its a hot day on your visit I recommend taking a bottle of water as there are only refreshments in the castle and I got a bit dehydrayed on my visit. The coffee shop in the castle had very nice cakes. The bottled drinks were a bit expensive. A small bottle of cola was £2.50 the rest, like cakes tea and coffee were average priced.

Arundel Castle is a brilliant place to spend the day. There is loads to see but be aware the steps up to the keep are numerous, steep and very narrow in places. The gardens are supurb and very well tended. The stewards are very knowledgeable and approachable. Food is delicious and reasonably priced and the there is a well stocked shop with gifts for all pockets.

A wonderful location for those who want to catch a glimpse of the way our ancestors lived. There is a nice cafe' with reasonably priced and really tasty sandwiches and a park that is lovely for children to play in.
