WALKS		Burpham George and Dragon Meet Here		TALKS
The George and Dragon has the (possibly unique) distinction of being run by one family for three hundred years. The Wests were landlords from the time of the Civil War until the Second World War. The old “spit and sawdust” country pub is now an up-market eatery.				The George and Dragon is a quaint timeless pub and restaurant set in the picturesque village of Burpham close to the historical town of Arundel in West Sussex infamous for its Arundel Castle. Burpham boasts views of the South Downs; circuit walks along the South Downs and the River Arun can be enjoyed by setting off from our location at the top of Burpham hill.
Many famous writers and artists made their home at Burpham in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Perhaps the most celebrated of these was Mervyn Peake, the novelist and engraver, who is buried in the churchyard.
