The garden is a memorial to the 14th Earl of Arundel, an avid art collector. The garden has a central canal with a domed pergola and fountains. The centrepiece of the garden is a rockwork mountain planted with palms and ferns to represent another world. A green oak version of ‘Oberon’s Palace’ flanked by two oak obelisks has a shell lined interior with a stalagmite fountain with a gilded coronet ‘dancing’ on a jet of water.*

I am struck by these cool images, so welcome in the heat we have been having recently
We are not having the same hot weather where I live as we did on our holidays.

This year was a first year of exploring the wider Sussex area.

This castle looks rather big!
This part of the castle reminded me a little bit of Hever Castle.
There was a lake and an Italian style garden at the back of Hever Castle too.
I have not been to Hever. Yes Arundel is a big castle with a big garden.
