Arundel Historic Tours

Arundel, Castle town, Cathedral town and a 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 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. Outside the Castle are the delights of the town for you to explore - enjoy the hospitality, small arcades, galleries, antique shops and a 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. So, Arundel, why so special? It’s hard to say precisely. Ambling along Tarrant Street, the town's 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.
