Map of the UK

Arundel sits in the district of Arun, West Sussex, England, nestling on the banks of the River Arun beneath the South Downs. The skyline is dominated by Arundel Castle, a largely restored Norman fortress that, together with the ornate Arundel Cathedral, gives the town a strong medieval character and makes it a magnet for visitors and photographers.

Its economy leans heavily on tourism and local independent shops, with a lively arts and antiques scene, seasonal festivals and river-based activities. Historic streets, a small market-town feel and good rail links towards Littlehampton, Horsham and London mean it balances a quieter residential community with the steady buzz of cultural events and visitors.
