| Arundel Castle, West Sussex |
The castle creates a striking view from the train as it passes Arundel and at last I finally got round to visiting. It wasn't a disappointment! The castle is massive and a lot of fun to explore, especially clambering around inside the keep.

This display case was lined with crushed velvet:
Lots of patterns in the leaded glass windows:

| This would make a nice reading snug, although probably freezing cold for most of the year. |
 |
| A portrait of Charles I by Van Dyck (who else?) with a beautiful sleigh(?) in front. |
 |
| Mary Fitzalan, wife of the 4th Duke of Norfolk. Always interesting to look at clothing in Tudor portraits. |
 |
| The dining room |
 |
| One of the bedroom toilets. Presumably still in use, judging by the provision of toilet paper! |
