Arundel

Last Day in Sussex

We decided on a relaxing day today, but it turned out to be more religious than expected. We decided to visit Arundel for a few hours which started with a short walk along the river Arun to give the dog some exercise.

The plan was to have lunch in one of the many cafés in the town. We tried the Moathouse Bakeaway & Coffee Co. a couple of days ago and had to return, so can definitely recommend this one.

Afterwards we wandered up the High Street, but this time I avoided the cheese shop as it cost me dearly last visit. We went to the Arundel Cathedral of Our Lady & St Philip Howard and I sat outside with the dog whilst Vanessa went inside. Then one of the staff told me I could take the dog inside – that’s a first! The inside was Ok, with the usual architecture…

Nearby was the St Nicholas’ Church which caught our eye because of the large number of primrose in the graveyard.

Headed back to the car and diverted into a sweet shop to some liquorice and other treats. This was the end of our short adventure around Sussex which we thoroughly enjoyed. We’ll be back another day in the late autumn perhaps.
