England Trip {Arundel Castle}

Mid-week during our trip to Brighton, we took a train to Arundel to tour the castle. We took 2 trains and then made the 10 minute walk to get to the castle.

We had to walk past this farm to get to the town. I couldn't resist taking a picture.

Here's a picture of the main street in Arundel.

And then we have the castle.

I had been to a couple of castles in Germany back in 1990, but they were empty. Not only was this castle furnished, it is also inhabited by the current Duke of Norfolk and his family. There were several different tour options. We paid for the "gold" tour which allowed us to see many of the rooms inside. We did not get to see the bedrooms. Those were reserved for the "gold plus" tours.

Unfortunately, photography wasn't permitted inside the castle, but we did take many photos of the exterior.

Here's a view from the keep which shows just how massive a structure it was.

There were lots of walking paths outside.

And beautiful gardens.






When we finished our tour of the castle & gardens, we stopped for a pint at a local pub before heading back to Brighton.
