Arundel Castle - West Sussex   A traditional British double-decker bus
  • Private guided visit of historic Arundel Castle. This is Britain's second largest castle towering magnificently above the River Arun valley. Only Queen Elizabeth's Windsor Castle is larger. Begun in the 11th century, it has been for 700 years the home of the Duke of Norfolk, who was made England's Premier Duke by Richard III in 1483. (The present Duke is the 18th.) It's a wonderful combination of English history, culture, tradition and architecture.

  • A visit to the Chequer Inn, a real, traditional country pub. Over 500 years old, the pub has also acted as the local court house, jail, auction room and cock-fighting pit too. It was the local pub of the poet Victor Neuburg, Aleister Crowley's black magic acolyte and lover who lived closeby. One beer, wine or soft drink in the Chequer Inn is included in your tour.

 
  • Travel in a traditional British double-decker bus (fitted with comfortable coach-style seats, seat belts and a PA system) accompanied by an expert professional guide. Depart at 9.00 am from the Brighton Centre. Return to the Brighton Centre by 4.30 PM in time for WBMC registration.

  • Guided drive along the West Sussex resort coast and through the beautiful, mystical South Down hills. They are full of ancient Iron Age fortresses, pagan burial sites, Roman temples, crossing ley lines, medieval villages where witches lived and weird local folklore. In the 20th century the notorious Aleister Crowley practised black magic here. Today the West Sussex South Downs are a top location for television programmes about the supernatural.
