ARUNDEL CASTLE

The castle was started in timber on a motte in 1067 and continued to be expanded over next two centuries. The well preserved stone shell keep on the huge motte and the curtain walls were built in the middle of the 12th century and the Barbican was added in 1295. The castle was badly damaged in 1643 during the Civil War seige.
The residential area is predominantly Victorian, dating from around 1890.

Open April - October.
