Arundel in a very small and very quaint little town that is often forgotten by many when thinking of a beautiful holiday in the UK. Arundel Civil parash covers roughly 3,000 acres and has a total population of about 3,500 people. The town lies North of the A 27 road, which narrowly avoids the town centre by a short and congested single carriageway bypass.
The town itself is an excellent little holiday destination with amazing scenery and wonderful views. Through Arundel runs the River Arun which is one of the oldest and most beautiful rivers in the country. However, the river itself has not been used in over twenty years!. Arundel is home to one of the oldest Scout Groups in the world. 1st Arundel 9Earl of Arundel’s Own) Scout Group was formed in 1908 only a few weeks after scouting began. Based in its current HQ in Green Lane Close, it has active sections of Beaver Scouts and Scouts. If you love cricket then you will love Arundel! The town has its own cricket ground right by Arundel Castle and is often cited as being one of the country’s most picturesque cricket ground. It hosts a number of Sussex County matches and is the venue for the traditional season curtain raiser between Lavinia Dutchess of Norfolk’s XI and the champion county. The twon was awarded a ‘Fairtrade’ award for supporting the environement and growing their own natural produce.
All in all this is a tremendous little town to go on holiday in and I would highly recommend anyone to venture down South to go and explore There is plenty of activities that you can do and loads of Sussex holiday cottages there. So enjoy! If you would like some more information on Arundel you can check out their Wikipedia page..
