Arundel is a tiny little town by the sea side that is quite often over looked by for a holiday in the UK. Arundel occupies an area of a bout 3,000 acres and has a population of about 3,500 people in total. The town lies a mile off of the A27 road which runs directly through the South of England.

The town itself is an excellent little holiday destination with amazing scenery and wonderful views. Through the town runs the notorious River Arun which is one of the oldest and most sacred rivers in the country. Although, the river has not been used in over twenty years. Arundel is the center of one of the oldest Scout Groups on the planet. 1^st 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. Also, Arundel was given the award of ‘Fairtrade Town’ by the Government which symbolises that the town supports the environment and 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 want some more information on Arundel you can check out their Wikipedia page..
