Arundel Castle

After completing the first week of training for work, I wanted to get out of Gatwick for Saturday.  I thought about going into London, but I generally don't go into big cities for recreation.  As I was reading my Lonely Planet book and internet sites, I came across Arundel castle.  The castle itself was started in 1067 and is still occupied by the Duke of Norfolk. 

I always have been a fan of castles and have visited a couple castles in Norway and France previously.  It was only an hour away by train and looked promising.  So after a late breakfast, I boarded the train for Arundel.

I was impressed by how well the castle was upkept and throughly enjoyed the day roaming the town.  There was also an ancient gothic style catherdal in town as well.  It even had gargoyles...  I topped off the day with a quick dinner of fish 'n chips and headed by to Gatwick.
