The highest hill fort in Sussex dates back about 5000 years and has a hugely varied part in history, predominantly as a defence location for the area and observation point in times of conflict. Now the hill is a wonderful ipart of the South Downs National Park and provides a haven for nature, with wild ponies, rare flora and a peaceful public leisure area for walking and hiking.

PLEASE CALL OR EMAIL FOR A TOUR BOOKING Martin an Arundel postman and local from historic Arundel and partner Karen have developed a fascinating talk and tour. People living locally as well as Tourists, Language Schools, coach parties and day trippers have been introduced to the intriguing insight into the Roman and Victorian through to anecdotal facts and changes throughout the town. During the walk they make reference to photo books showing the town 100 years ago that makes the tour a must for history lovers and for people intrigued by local knowledge.

Love the Windmill Cinema. Great cosy cinema with big screen. Seats aren't the comfyest but ok. Staff friendly, clean cinema, small and neat. Reasonable priced tickets. Knocks spots off the big chain cinemas which i try to avoid. When there are 2 local cinemas, inc Bognor, why go elsewhere?! Back again on Saturday, look forward to my film fix

Just had the most amazing experience doing the hawk walk with my mum for Mother’s Day! Mum said it was the most breath taking experience she’s ever had! Being up close and personal with the birds is incredible! Would highly recommend to anyone who’s looking for a gift that’s out of the box! Looking forward to the next one! ????

I was a little concerned when I booked up for 9 strong-minded 40-something guys to be locked in a small room for an hour and having to work as a team to get out (I had previously considered going with my family including a 12, 11 and 8 year old, but think it would have been too hard overall for them). I needn't have worried! From the warm welcome to the moment we left, we had a great time. When we first entered 'the room', it looked a little sparse, somewhat akin to some of my student digs from the past (albeit much cleaner). I didn't think there could possibly be enough to keep our 'clever' minds and 'highly tuned (ahem!)' bodies engaged for the full time. How wrong I was! Aside from the countless visible locks, as you delved and dug deeper, there were plenty of puzzles to solve, clues to find and things to work out to keep us all fully engaged and entertained for (almost) the full hour. Yes we did escape but, if I'm honest, only because of the few useful hints that came across the radio to point us back in the right direction. This is a fun and fairly inexpensive way to sped an afternoon or start an evening. I gather the clues change every few months, so it can be done more than once. One thing is for sure though, it has given me the bug and I will be booking up another Escape Room in the near future.
7. The Earl's Garden

These stunning gardens are designed as a series of interconnected rooms with their green oak Pagodas (one of which is architecturally decorated with antlers), water features and fountains and Oberon's Palace with its shell grotto inside. Opened in 2008 as a tribute to Thomas Howard, the 14th Earl of Arundel, the gardens have lush planting and different characteristics as you move from one of the 'rooms' to another, exploring the different spaces and hidden corners, while as a backcloth you can see Arundel Cathedral and the Church of St Nicholas over the hedges. The Earl's Garden leads onto other gardens - the rose and vegetable gardens and the glass houses. The Gardens are not to be missed and a delightful surprise to find on visiting the Castle, while there is also a new Water Garden, as a wildlife reserve, on the site of the Stew Ponds.

From the moment we walked up the drive and saw the beautiful and striking Arundel castle home to the Duke of Norfolk it was simply just breathtaking, and inside was stunning, the library took my breath away. The most amazing castle I have ever visited. The gardens are beautiful with so many beautiful features, with the beautiful Arundel Cathedral as a back drop. Would most definitely return and highly recommend a visit

Outside and inside this is a wonderful Cathedral Church, honouring St. Mary the Virgin and St. Philip Howard. It is full of the most amazing sculptures and memorials. The cathedral is not old (1873) so all of the architecture is crisp and clean, but it follows traditional designs and looks so.much like the cathedrals of Notre Dame or Mont Saint Michel on the outside. The special features to look out for are: The stations of the cross The tomb of Saint Philip the Martyr The stunning altars Fabulous stained glass windows, especially the circular west window Two 12th Century large carvings of 'The Raising of Lazarus' The Tapestry and altar drapes 16th Century paintings of the Kings of England and Wales
