In The Guardians Top 10 Best UK Off-Grid Retreats *Dog Friendly* Is it time for an escape from too much concrete and too many commitments?

So what’s on offer here? A cool, sustainably made wooden cabin with a woodburner to keep you cosy, simple but comfy furniture, and best of all, a double bed set next to vast glass windows looking out on a wonderfully quiet landscape. Chances are you’ll want to stay there all day looking down the valley… breakfast in bed may well become a necessity. Everything is ready for you (bedding, cooking stuff, a fridge, kindling for the firepit and woodburner) so all you need to bring with you is food – pick up supplies from local farm shops – or eat at the rural pubs in the quaint local villages. With no phone signal and no wifi connection to distract you, you’ll have all the time in the world to chill out, read a book, write a journal, hike the unknown, or meditate in nature.

Set in a steep vale of the South Downs, this much-conserved town offers a picture-perfect scene. There's a winding river, a magnificent Roman Catholic cathedral and a medieval castle that overlooks a summer cricket ground where white-shirted villagers go about their game. There's a lido, a football club and a waterside café with boats for hire. And, in the surrounding countryside a smattering of good campsites too.

It’s nestled on the edge of the South Downs National Park, on the banks of the River Arun and, with so much rural beauty, it’s little wonder that there are plenty of campsites in the area.

Things to do in Arundel

The town of Arundel is dominated by its mightiest buildings Arundel Castle and the towering Arundel Cathedral. The castle dates from the 11th century when the land was gifted to Roger de Montgomery by William the Conqueror, not long after the fairly nearby Battle of Hastings. Its beautiful gardens are a highlight of any visit. And after a tour of the castle and a look in the cathedral, you might want to head out in to the surrounding streets for a mooch around the independent shops and cafes. But if it’s the great outdoors, you’ve come to experience, why not head 10 minutes south to visit the beaches of the south coast or to the Arundel Wetland Centre for a boat ride to spot birds. There’s plenty of walking in the countryside of the South Downs National Park too. For days out further afield you could head west to Chichester or east for the bright lights of Brighton.
