We were in Arundel before 9 on Saturday morning having got up early to avoid Bank Holiday traffic on our trip along the south coast. In fact the roads were nearly empty and we did the 75 miles or so without hitch, the roads being either dual carriageway or motorway for virtually the entire journey.
Using searchforsites I'd seen Mill Road mentioned in Arundel, the chance of parking the motorhome overnight for free, albeit without access to any facilities. What a road! There were well over 20 motorhomes and vans strung along the road and you could understand why.
The road itself is nice and level, is framed by the town and castle on one side and fields and parks on the other. Carrying on over the bridge takes you to the boating lake and then to the wetland centre for birds. I was very impressed and we happily parked up waiting to join with Andy and Julie and the twins. There was a constant stream of runners passing by and it all added to the air of this being somewhere you wanted to be. We had to park quite a long way down the road but at the top end there is a large car park with toilets which are clean, spacious and readily available in single cubicles. The children loved the park and we saw sand martins feeding over the water, as well as a heron on the other side of the hedge.
I'd recommend this road for parking up and enjoying the town. Fantastic and all for free. Felt very safe.
