Castle in the Air: A circular walk in the South Downs from Amberley Station via Arundel and its stunning castle

This beautiful walk is easily accessible by train from Amberley Station and there is also good parking. Picking up the Monarch’s Way, the lungs get a decent work out shortly after entering the Arundel Estate. There are wonderful views to the South Downs before a short detour gives you a first glimpse of the magical Arundel Castle. Within a couple of hours of setting off, you have arrived in Arundel, a town well worth a linger. Enjoy a coffee at the Motte & Bailey on the high street before heading on and across the Arun. The George at Burpham is a great place for a pint or a bite to eat. Alternatively, enjoy your picnic overlooking the Arun Valley with Arundel Castle silhouetted on the skyline. Within an hour of the George, you are back at the station and completely reinvigorated after a great day’s walking.
