UK Castle questions

[Richelle Votaw]

I've begun planning my trip to the UK (which if everything goes according to plan will begin one year from today) and have questions already.  I've been looking through loads of books and magazines, and two particular castles have caught my eye. Arundel and Warwick.  They look positively gorgeous in pictures, has anyone been?  Is it worth my time?  It looks as though I may have to skip Alnwick, which I only wanted to see because of HP, but it's the only thing preventing a straight northward train trip from London to Edinburg.  I've got to give in somewhere.

Also, how do you pronounce Arundel?  Is it ArUNdel or ArunDEL?  Or something else?  My mom and I are having, err, disagreements over that.

Thanks!

Richelle
