It offers stunning views of the English Channel and, on clear days, you can even see France from its golden beaches
Now is the ideal time to discover new places. Yet, you don't have to leave Britain far to encounter a beautiful and lesser-known coastal gem. Deal, nestled on Kent's eastern shoreline, boasts spectacular vistas of the English Channel and is four and a half hours from Nottingham.
Commissioned by King Henry VIII in 1540 as a fortification against potential French and Holy Roman Empire invasions, the castle is steeped in history. It was pivotal during the English Civil Wars of the 17th century and acted as a line of defence against German forces in World War II. Today, visitors can wander through its battlements, enjoy leisurely picnics on its grounds, and marvel at the expansive Channel views offered by this historic seaside fortress.
Whether your passion lies in visual arts or live performances, Deal has something to capture your imagination. In the centre of Deal, you'll discover a variety of unique shops and bustling flea markets. The Deal Saturday Market is a must-see, selling fresh local produce, clothing, flowers, jewellery, and toys.
