    Dating back to the mid to late 13th century, Arundel Tower was an imposing structure standing 60ft (18.2m) tall. It was in an important position in the town's defences and had a commanding view far out to sea. It was first named the Corner Tower but was renamed in the 14th century to Arundel Tower after Sir John Arundel, Governor of Southampton Castle 1377-39. The tower was in an exposed part of the town and was given a nickname, Windwhistle Tower. It is difficult to picture that the sea once lapped at the base of the tower when first built!

    This tower is a real fairytale among the old Town walls. You can climb up to see the neighborhoods. A great fun & joy for the kids!

    Very interesting to see the old City Wall next to the modern shopping mall and buildings - they were having a showing of the tennis game when I visited. Would recommend walking along the old city wall there are lots of signs that make the walk educational and also easy to follow.

    Mix of old and modern architecture. You can climb up the wall for better view.

    A piece of history in Southampton remaining from the heavy bombing of world word two. You can visit all the existing walls with a tour guide if interested.

    You will always see the remains of the old city around you, among all the new construction.

    Nice little bit of history, and great views.

    Part of the medieval structures you can see around Southampton.

    I love that this tower is almost intact. It’s a very interesting place to see and it’s so nicely incorporated into the new West Quay complex.
