Arundel Castle is a Grade 1 listed building in Arundel, West Sussex and has been home to the Dukes of Norfolk for over 400 years. Originally established on Christmas Day in 1067 by Roger de Montgomery who was the first to hold the Earldom of Arundel by the grace of William the Conqueror.
Damaged during the English Civil War it was restored in the 18th and 19th centuries.
There is an annual Tulip Festival at the Castle where up to 60,000 blooms of many varieties form a riot of colour during April and early May.
