It’s Big at Deal!
Whatever you seek walking by the beach is an experience like no other, whether it’s a spot of birdwatching at Pegwell Bay or watching the ships in the channel from a cliff top vantage point at St Margaret’s Bay. A little further along the coast lies Samphire Hoe, a dramatic coastal park made from the excavation of material from when the channel tunnel was created!
A wonderful mini seaside day out can be found in Walmer & Deal. Between the two castles lies a wonderful trail, so take a visit to Walmer paddling pool and hire out a deckchair for the afternoon, then explore Deal’s many eateries and watch the sun go down on the beach.
