Arundel Castle Keep & Gardens

Arundel Castle Keep & Gardens, High Street, Arundel, West Sussex, BN18 9BA.
Arundel Castle's impressive gardens are situated around the medieval keep. Until the present Duke and Duchess of Norfolk moved into the Castle in 1987, the gardens had been neglected. The Duchess, together with the head gardener, has transformed the site allocated to the gardens.

There are hot and cool herbaceous borders with contrasting foliage plants, a cut flower border which together with the ornamental Victorian kitchen garden supplies Arundel Castle with fresh fruit, vegetables and cut flowers. A rare lean-to peach house and vinery, originally built in 1850 by Clarke & Hope, has also been restored and houses exotic fruit and vegetables. The sheltered location of the gardens makes it possible for many of the tender perennials such as cannas and salvias to remain in the ground throughout the winter. The Fitzalan Chapel has its own small garden planted in white and there is also a newly planted rose garden in what was once an 18th Century bowling green.
