Once one of the busiest ports in England, Deal is now a small resort on the Kent coast about 14 km north east from Dover. There is a long pier, seafront promenade and a pebble beach with small fishing boats pulled up on the shingle. Along the seafront there are a range of facilities. Deal Castle is described as a surprising and deceptive beach castle. It offers great views of the sea and has historical significance during the time of Henry VIII. It is one of three castles in the area, with Walmer Castle and Gardens to the right and Sandown Castle, which no longer exists. The castle is recommended for those interested in history and beautiful architecture. There are also exhibitions and activities for kids, although the site is not wheelchair accessible due to uneven ground and stairs.
