The solidity and dominance of Arundel Castle within its green and pleasant grounds, West Sussex, England.
Commentary.
Started as a Norman Motte and Bailey castle
almost a thousand years ago,
Arundel Castle is surreal, almost mesmeric,
the stuff of fairy tales,
but it is real.
Home to the Duke of Norfolk’s family
for over 400 years the site was extended
throughout medieval times.
Arundel is a superb, unique town, in a glorious valley,
through which flows a vibrant and beautiful river, the Arun.
But from wherever one looks, north, south, east or west
of the town, the castle dominates and raises this town’s
profile to magical, mysterious and legendary status.
Simply, magnificent!!!
