Arundel Castle town, Cathedral Town and the town with one Church that has two denominations

That's the headlines but it doesn’t scratch the surface of the history, architecture, businesses and playgrounds, I call home. My name is Martin and I am a postman in the town. I wasn’t born there in 1958, I was bornin the town not far away called Rustington. The maternity wing there was where most of my generation were born. If I had been born in the borough of Arundel, I would be a Mullet, (the fish not the haircut) the grey mullet is caught in the river and is a colloquialism given to people born here. I don’t profess to being a historian or expert but I do love my town. So with my knowledge, humour, friends and tourism qualification, decided to share, when I could, with the visitors and locals alike. From a Tour to a Presentation and now a book. My partner Karen and myself hope you enjoy our book and Arundel will see you soon.

So, Arundel, why so special, it’s hard to say precisely, ambling along Tarrant Street, named after the river (not the Arun?) the town array of different architectural styles, the coffee shops and pubs, the lovely independent shops. The events across the year from Corpus Christie, Farmers Markets to Festival and Christmas, the walks, the river bank, the lake, the park, so much to see and do at a leisurely pace.

Arundel has had a Castle since 1067 it is said although there has been some kind of fortress there for much longer. The history of the Castle and the Dukes is baffling, and so I suggest a visit to get acquainted with both. Outside the Castle are the delights of the town for you to explore, enjoy the hospitality, the feel of the small arcades, the galleries and antique shops. Explore the variety of cafes and restaurants, check out the take home gift shops, sit beside the river, whatever you choose, just love the town as we do.
