The historic town of Arundel, in West Sussex, lies at the foot of the South Downs on the River Arun, in some of England's most beautiful countryside. The town is majestically overlooked by Arundel Castle, the country's second-largest castle.
Arundel Castle was established at the time of the Norman Conquest. It has been home to the Dukes of Norfolk since the 1500s. Because the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk and their children live here, not all parts are open to the public, but large areas are available for you to view. The perfectly-preserved interiors feature exquisite furniture, tapestries and a rare collection of paintings by renowned artists Van Dyck, Gainsborough and others.
Spend some time exploring the castle grounds. Climb to the top of the Keep for stunning views over the South Downs, River Arun and out to sea, and wander through the glorious flower garden and chapel.
Arundel town, just a short walk down the hill, is a quaint English village, here you’ll have around one hour to explore the narrow streets and many specialty stores.
Reboard your coach and journey back to the ship at Portsmouth.
Please note: Tour requires approximately two hours of walking, one of which is at guests discretion during the free time. Terrain includes gravel paths, steps, spiral staircases, and moderate inclines.
