Arundel Castle was founded in 1067, and the building you see today is in the Gothic Revival style. It is a Grade I listed building and a scheduled monument, and its grounds are listed as a historic park and garden in their own right. A visit takes in the gardens, the keep and the castle rooms, with a café on site for breaks.
The thing to plan around is the order of the day: the castle rooms open later than the gardens and the keep, so families who arrive in the morning start outdoors and move inside later on.
