One of the Sink Port Castles. Excellent. We love castles and its a great day out for all ages. From memory which isn't brilliant I think there was quite a bit on Lord Wellington and I believe it is still in use but not lived in. Not the largest of castles but well worth a visit. More

Deal Castle is a very nice venue to visit : the audio guides and the castle itself, tell an interesting tale and when the weather is food, it is very nice to look over the Channel and find yourself flung back into history. It is not as fancy and elaborate as Walmer Castle nearby and it can't compete with Dover... More

If your into castles and passing then I would suggest paying a visit else if your after a full day out your better off going straight to Dover castle just down the coast. Also check the opening times. More

As I visited Deal, thought I would see castle. I thought it was quite expensive at £4.80 per adult and you need to be reasonably fit to ensure that you see it all (lots of steps, etc.). Their is a audio tour available and maybe I should have used it, as I only saw one person on staff duty to... More

One of Deal's three castles (Walmer & Sandown being the other two). A spectacular rose-shaped castle located in what use to be the Navy Yard district of Deal. Commissioned by Henry VIII. Well worth a look More

£4.80 adult entry. Only open over the weekend off peak season. One member of staff in the entrance, although she was helpful. Impressive castle on the outside but I feel more could have been done inside as a lot of it was empty. Some information available around the castle and audio tour is optional. Some areas are not open, we... More
