Family Things to Do in West Sussex
Arundel Castle
Situated across the beautiful countryside of Arundel and overlooking the River Arun, Arundel Castle was built at the end of the 11th century by Roger de Montgomery, Earl of Arundel. With existing features, such as the motte, dry moat, and gatehouse, history really comes alive here.
Amberley Museum & Heritage Centre
Just a few moments from us, there is a lot to explore. From railways and bus services (which freely carry you around the site) to printing workshops and much more. The museum is dedicated to the industrial heritage of the South East but is also home to traditional craftspeople.
Brighton
Discover attractions such as the Brighton Pier, the Royal Pavilion, and the brand-new British Airways i360. The city is also home to a cornucopia of cultural delights, as well as big-name shops and hundreds of independent boutiques. There are also award-winning restaurants catering to all tastes.
Arundel Wetlands Centre
See the wild side of Arundel. WWT Wetlands Centre is a beautiful reserve nestled in the South Downs National Park. Take a free guided boat safari to glimpse a rare water vole or see vividly coloured kingfishers. Hand feed their collection of birds, including the Nene, one of the world's rarest water birds.
Wey & Arun Canal
Running through Surrey and West Sussex in Southern England, this rural waterway is recognised as a national heritage asset, as well as providing a haven for wildlife. Boat trips with up to 50 seats run cruises on the idyllic Loxwood section of the canal.
