The closest pub to the cottage. You can easily walk there - takes about 45 minutes but I wouldn't advise walking there in the dark unless you have head torches and are brave! Good food and overlooks the River Arun and the old Stopham Bridge. Great for a pint outside too.

Beaches/lidos
Arundel Lido
Queen StreetGreat for hot days.
Glorious unspoilt sandy beach that stretches for miles. About a 45 minute drive from the cottage. You have to pay for parking so take cash! If going in summer months, I would advise going early as the roads can get busy around to the beach.
