Deal, Kent

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

Deal was settled as early as the first Roman invasion by Julius Caesar in 55BC. It was mentioned in the Domesday Book, but Deal really began to prosper with the burgeoning naval dockyards here. Henry VIII built no less than 3 castles in and around deal. Of these, two remain; Deal and Walmer Castles. Walmeer is the official residence of the Lord of the Cinque Ports. The Time Ball Tower Museum on Prince of Wales Street is housed in a peculiar tower built in 1820. At precisely 1 o'clock every day, a large ball was dropped from a pole atop the tower to enable ships to set their clocks. Nearby is the Deal Maritime & Local History Museum, telling the story of Deal and the Cinque Ports.
