Arundel Park, [44], [217], the magnificent seat of the Duke of Norfolk. This castle stands on a hill, at the southern extremity of an extensive, well-wooded, and beautiful park. The original, which was very ancient (mentioned in the will of Alfred the Great), and greatly delapidated by the unsparing hand of time, has been recently repaired in the most costly and elegant manner, in the gothic style, at a vast expence, by the late Duke. This spot has the pre-eminent privilege of conferring the dignity of Earl, without creation, on whosoever possesses it; a privilege not enjoyed by any other place in the kingdom.
Arundel Castle stands on an elevated situation, its foundation being a steep circular knoll, formed partly by nature, and partly by art. From the castle, the Isle of Wight is visible. The country towards the sea is low and flat, and it is supposed that the sea once washed the walls of this edifice, anchors and other marine implements having been found near it. The park and views from thence comprise a great variety of picturesque and beautiful scenery.
To attempt a particular description of this truly magnificent mansion, in the circumscribed limits of this work, is impossible.
