That’s right, I saw a castle. This one is quite old even by my new standards—Arundel dates back to the 11th century!
When I first asked Dr. Google about it, the top results included the city from Disney’s Frozen, so don’t feel too bad if you made that same mistake. I can tell you for certain that Arundel is NOT in a permanent winter at present.
Here we are at the entrance.
This is from the top of the keep, which of course is crenelated.
Lots of lookouts and nooks and crannies between the castle and the keep, and what a view!
Just take in that gorgeous English countryside.
Inside the castle, there were many portraits, beautiful pieces of furniture, and also, somehow, a sleigh.
I don’t remember what the sign said about this beauty, but I think she and I would have gotten along:
In the castle there was a display room full of weaponry, though I think this was separate from the actual armory. This place is ready to see some game of thrones type action.
My favorite room by far was the library–a two-story affair with fireplaces big enough to relax in and plenty of couches to satisfy your body’s every whimsical reading position.
Though it was quite a warm day, we had a great time exploring the castle and noting how the original facilities separated bathing from the other intimacies performed in what we Americans refer to as bathrooms. I didn’t take a picture, so forget it.
I did however get this gem:
I call it a success!
