Deal is a coastal town in Kent, England, which lies where the North Sea and the English Channel meet, 8 miles north-east of Dover and 8 miles south of Ramsgate. It is a former fishing, mining and garrison town whose history is closely linked to the anchorage in the Downs. Deal’s promenade overlooks a pebbly beach that offers scenic views of the English Channel and out towards the Goodwin Sands. Following an extensive refurbishment, Deal Pier (the town’s third) is a landmark not to be missed - you might recognise it as a location from ITV’s ‘Liar’, which was filmed in Deal. The view from the end of the pier, looking back at the historical buildings lining the shore, has remained unchanged for more than 100 years.
If you’re a history enthusiast, head to Deal Castle. Built by the order of King Henry VIII as part of a chain of coastal defences, it’s one of the finest Tudor artillery castles in England. Keep an ear out for some interesting Deal Castle facts during your visit! The fascinating maritime history of Deal - a former smuggling haunt - is a joy to uncover. Visit the Timeball Tower and discover the vital role this maritime monument once played in the safe navigation of ships sailing along Deal’s coastline, or join a historic walking tour along the seafront and explore the town’s incredible past, from the arrival of Julius Caesar through to the modern day.
