Early morning high view of Arundel Castle in West Sussex in England

Arundel is a market town and civil parish in a steep vale of the South Downs, West Sussex, England. Arundel town is a major bridging point over the River Arun as it was the lowest road bridge until the opening of the Littlehampton swing bridge in 1908. Arundel Castle was built by the Normans to protect that vulnerable fairly wooded plain to the north of the valley through the South Downs.

The much-conserved town has a medieval castle and Roman Catholic cathedral
