As the weather forecast was hot and sunny we decided to go to Arundel for the day (http://www.sussexbythesea.com/arundel_general_info.asp?menu=1)
It only took about 75 mins to get there and easily found a parking spot, albeit deciding to pay in the long stay car park ! It was a lovely town steeped in history, so decided to walk round the river first. The towpath was pretty busy with people, but turns out the pub on the river just out of town was having a Bath Tub race and we got there just as they were about to start... seemed like all the townsfolk were there ! As it was so hot, we didn't go on the full walk up the hill and round the lake, and ended up just doing a couple of hours walking by the time we got back to the car, just in time for lunch !
We had taken our picnic so found a nice spot to sit in the shade by the river and had a lovely leisurely lunch with great views.
With the choice of walking round town or going round the castle, Lynn prefered to look round the shops !! Lot of antique shops, 9 pubs and a generous assortment of restaurants and cafes abound, but was old English feel to the town.... especially with loads of Morgans buzzing around the roads as well. Looked like there was a Morgan do on at Goodwood and Arundel seemed like it was a place for all the cars to stop at for some reason.
Was definitely a nice place to visit and was lots for us to do and see... most of it we didn't do or see yet, so will have to go back another day :-)
