Neighbourhoods
Beach walks are a favourite for refreshing sea air in this seaside Georgian gem. A stroll along the pier gives an excellent view of the town from the sea. The Conservation area has narrow streets where every house is unique and so are the doors and door knockers.

A fantastic day out. See the furnished castle and gardens. It is still used by The Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, which have in the past, included the Duke of Wellington and The Queen Mother. It has a nice cafe too.
DEAL CASTLE
Another interesting visit. This is a fortress in a Tudor Rose shape.
TIMEBALL TOWER
Once used to signal to other towers and give ships offshore the accurate time, important for using their navigational instruments. The ball goes up at 12.55pm and comes down at 1pm. There is talk it may become hourly. See the museum inside with a great view from the top!... quite a few stairs.

A few ideas on days out locally.
A quaint historic town of timbered houses on the river Stour. The Town Museum is an interesting visit. Take a gentle stroll along the peaceful greenery of the Ropewalk following the river. See the Barbican, an ancient toll gate and enjoy the pretty little streets. This town is said to be where the legendary sandwich was invented!

Cattle MarketA vibrant town of lovely old buildings and the famous cathedral, where Thomas Becket met his end at the hands of the knights of Henry II. An ancient place of pilgrimage as told in the Canterbury Tales. The Beaney House of Art & Knowledge is worth a visit and also houses the Tourist Information Office. A great town for shopping too. Then lunch perhaps at the historic cafe The Weavers, right by the river. There is a handy Park & Ride system for car parking.
