Luxury holidays in Arundel
Fair of face and packed with history, the enchanting market town of Arundel makes a fine retreat from the anxieties of modern life. Nestled in the vale of the South Downs, this hilltop town boasts a majestic medieval castle, Gothic-revival cathedral and pristine Jacobean gardens. No wonder it’s been hailed as the most mindful destination in Europe. Along the gentle hum of the Ardun, life rallies to a different beat, contemplative, unhurried, firmly in the present, but certainly not of it.
When to go
The town comes alive in August, with a ten-day art festival offering street food, music, boat races and theatre, but on crisp autumn mornings when imposing castle walls emerge from the mist, you’ll find yourself swooning.
