Turning the corner at Crossbush, the Arun Valley opens up before you. The Gorse Fox thinks this is one of the best views in England, as the town rises above the flood plain at what used to be the last crossing point on the river, before the sea.This is the view that GF has commented on before, when driving off to Worcester at dawn. As the early light picks out the town in its fresh, pink dawn colours it seems to shimmer above the last remnants of mist that cluster round the foot of the town before being driven off by the approaching sun.
The Castle itself draws the eye as it dominates this stretch of the river, and the town itself. Inside it is vast. Soon after GF and the Silver Vixen moved down here we took a week off to explore the locality and spent a wonderful afternoon wandering round the Castle, looking at the great rooms, and exploring the towers and battlements.
The castle, however, is not the only landmark worthy of mention. At the top of the hill stands the soaring, neo-Gothic walls of Arundel Cathedral.
