Arundel Castle is one of Sussex’s most iconic landmarks. Set high above the River Arun with far-reaching views across the South Downs, it offers a striking setting for its acclaimed gardens.

Covering 38 acres, the grounds feature an impressive range of plantings that evolve throughout the seasons, starting with the world-renowned Tulip Festival in spring, which draws thousands of visitors each year from across the globe, to the rich autumn colour of the liquidambar trees.

Martin Duncan, Head Gardener & Landscape Designer at Arundel Castle, along with his wonderful team of skilled gardeners and volunteers, implement new designs and maintain the beautiful gardens and landscape throughout the year. Highlights include stunning English Herbaceous and Tropical borders, as well as a diverse collection of specimen trees.

The grounds also feature carefully designed areas, such as the Rose Garden, White Garden, Collector Earl’s Garden, Organic Kitchen Garden, Wildflower Garden, the award-winning Water Gardens, and the Stumpery Gardens. Blending formal design with more naturalistic planting, the gardens & landscape offer interest and showcase the creativity and skill of the Castle’s gardening team.
