Arundel is a small market town in the district of Arun, West Sussex, England, sitting on a bend of the River Arun beneath the chalk ridges of the South Downs National Park. The town is dominated by the medieval Arundel Castle - the historic seat of the Dukes of Norfolk - and retains a compact core of narrow streets, timber-framed buildings and a well-preserved conservation area.
Today the local economy leans on tourism, antiques and independent shops, with attractions such as the Victorian Arundel Cathedral, museums and seasonal events like the Arundel Festival drawing visitors; nearby wetlands and reserves add notable wildlife interest. Historic layers, good transport links and an active community give the town a lively yet distinctly historic character.
