Land at Gatwick. Lunch in Arundel.
Door to door from arrivals to your hotel below the castle walls, and back again when the holiday ends. One fixed price, a name board, and no wrestling suitcases over the bridge and up the hill from the station.

Castle stopover 🏰
Cruise ends in Southampton in the morning and your flight leaves Gatwick or Heathrow in the evening? Don't spend the day in a departure lounge. We collect you from the ship, drop you at the gates of Arundel Castle with your luggage locked safely in the car, and three hours later we're waiting to take you to the airport.
Heathrow instead of Gatwick: £285. Longer in Arundel? Tell us when you book. Request a stopover
Things to do in Arundel
A castle on the hill, a cathedral on the skyline, a river at the bottom and tea rooms all the way up. Arundel packs more into one high street than most towns manage in a county.
Nearly a thousand years of history, still a family home. Keep, gardens and the Fitzalan Chapel. Usually open spring to autumn: check their website before you go.
The Gothic spire you see from the A27. Look out for the carpet of flowers laid down the aisle each June.
Reedbeds, ducks with opinions, and a boat safari through the reeds. A gentle first day after a long-haul flight.
A flat walk under the castle walls, with rowing boats in summer. Bring bread for the swans; they'll tell you if it's the wrong kind.
Antiques, bookshops, galleries and serious cake. Allow longer than you think: everyone does.
The town's story, from Romans to river trade, by the bridge. Small, friendly, and a good rainy-hour plan.
Into the South Downs
Arundel sits where the River Arun cuts through the South Downs National Park: chalk hills, big skies, and pubs that have been pouring since before the castle had a gift shop.

Staying in Arundel
Holiday over? We'll take you home.
Same driver who met you, if we can. Same fixed price. We'll text you the night before with the time, their name and the car, so your last morning in Arundel is breakfast, not logistics.
