Luxury holidays in Arundel

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.

Getting there

• Planes

  The closest international hub is London Gatwick. Find direct flights here from most major UK and European cities, as well as from the USA, Asia and the Middle East. By car, the journey takes just over an hour, though the regular Southern Rail train service from Gatwick gets you there in 50 minutes.

• Automobiles

  Parking can be a challenge in Arundel. With many scenic pedestrian trails, ditch the car and rack up the steps among the lush greens of the South Downs. If you must drive, pull up in a residential area just outside of the centre to avoid getting hit with a fine.
