Join the Northern Belle in London Victoria for an enchanting day trip through the Sussex countryside to Arundel Castle.
Take your seat in your vintage carriage, which evokes the glamour of the 1930s "Belle" trains, and relax as the liveried stewards look after your every need. A delicious three-course brunch and Bellini will be served as you glide through the Sussex countryside to Arundel.
On arrival at Chichester station, take a short coach journey to the village of Arundel for your visit to the castle. Look out for the Gothic Catholic Cathedral built by the Duke in Victorian times.

You can also explore the museum at the gates of the Castle.
Back on board the luxury train, you'll enjoy a glass of Champagne, as a sumptuous five-course dinner with the sommelier's choice of wine is served to you. Spend time admiring the design details of your carriage and chatting about your day as you return to London Victoria.
