Let's get outside!
Walk, stroll, hike, cycle, ride, swim, kayak or paddle board. Arundel offers so many ways to enjoy the great outdoors, on your own, as a couple or with the whole family.
As they say in Scandinavia, “There is no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothing”. In Arundel you can get outside and enjoy its stunning setting throughout the year.
The walking paths that lead out of town into the West Sussex countryside are as much fun on a muddy day as they are in summer sunshine. There are hills for sledging when snow falls and quiet spots for picnics on sunny days.
Had enough outside for one day? Then cool off with an ice-cream from one of Arundel’s inviting ice-cream shops or cafés. On wintry days, you can warm up with a toasty drink and tummy-filling snacks in town’s pubs, cafés, or coffee shops.
