About Arundel
Arundel is a small market town in South Down, West Sussex in England. It is a well-conserved town with a medieval castle and a Roman Catholic cathedral. Despite its small population, Arundel has a museum that comes second behind Chichester in its number of listed buildings.
Arundel castle has a history that starts back in 1067 and continues to this day. Many original features such as the medical Gatehouse still survive. It also has amazing, award-winning gardens to explore.
The construction of the cathedral, on the other hand, started in late 1869 in the French Gothic style and was opened in July 1873. It stands over the top of the hill overlooking the small village.
