Last week we paid a flying visit to the beautiful town of Arundel. It is now officially my favourite place! I can’t wait to go back for a proper visit. Here are a couple of photos I’d like to share.
By the bridge is this wonderful tile map of the river system. I’ve not seen anything like it before.
I love the ship drawings too (I’m a bit obsessed with ships having featured them in my new book). I can see Farrell and his crew of pirate hunters at the docks trading supplies for the pirates they’ve captured.
There is so much history here, and a museum that definitely needs a visit. Below is a ruin of a Dominican Priory which sits by the River Arun.
A couple of examples of the Tudor style buildings that are dotted around the town.
The castle was something special and could be seen from pretty much any location in Arundel that we passed through. We didn’t get to go inside the castle this visit, but next time…
I will do a proper feature on Arundel Castle in the autumn.
Over the next few weeks I have some more photo posts planned. Look out for Chichester and its magnificent cathedral, Bognor beach, and some more shots of my falconry day. I hope you can join me again.
Love the ruined Priory. And what a magnificent castle 😊

I visited Arundel many years ago as my sister in law lives further along the coast in Fareham. Thanks for sharing these photos, they brought back memories of a lovely day .

I know, I found the tile map really strange but brilliant at the same time!
