Highlight • Cycleway

Small coffee shop and bike rental shop - nice outdoor area to sit in the sun with plenty of space for bike parking. Also have free dog biscuits if you’re walking past with a furry friend.

Deal Castle

Highlight • Monument

Deal Castle is an artillery fort built by Henry VIII in Deal, Kent, between 1539 and 1540. It was part of the King's Device program to protect against invasions from France and the Holy Roman Empire, and defended the strategically important Downs anchorage off the English coast. Consisting of a keep with six inner and outer bastions, the water-surrounded stone castle covered 0.85 acres (0.34 ha) and had sixty-six firing positions for artillery. During the Second English Civil War of 1648-49, Deal was captured by pro-Royalist rebels and was only recaptured by Parliamentary forces after several months of fighting. Although still armed, Deal was adapted by Sir John Norris and Lord Carrington during the 18th and 19th centuries to form a more suitable private home for the captain of the castle, which was now an honorary title.

Deal Pier is an important local landmark that offers excellent views of the Deal Sea and features a glass-walled cafe/restaurant at the end. It is internationally recognized as a fishing location. The pier is the last fully intact recreational pier in Kent. It is the third pier in existence in Deal and was opened in November 1957 by the Duke of Edinburgh.

Deal Timeball Tower

Highlight • Monument

Small, modest and inexpensive museum inside the tower. A little dated but nice nonetheless.
