Arundel Castle is one of the great treasure houses of England and the ancient castle has been the ancestral seat of the Duke of Norfolk for more than 850 years and is one of the most historic stately homes in the country.


The grounds of Arundel Castle, together with the keep and gatehouse, have been open to the public since the turn of the 19th century, with thousands of visitors each year able to enjoy the castle and its sweeping 40 acres of grounds. The castle’s interior is home to a priceless collection of art, furniture, tapestry and sculpture. However, the present Duke and Duchess have also broadened its appeal as a film and television location and special events venue.


The gardens have been open since 1854 but over the last two decades the grounds have been restored to their full glory, and in 2008 HRH The Prince of Wales opened the Collector Earl’s Garden. This garden was conceived as a tribute to Thomas Howard, 14th Earl of Arundel known as The Collector. Designed to evoke a Jacobean formal garden, it features courts, a domed pergola and a centre canal pond.


Both castle and grounds now open seasonally from April to October.
