Deal Castle

Built on the orders of King Henry VIII, Deal Castle is one of the finest Tudor artillery castles in England, and a must-see on your visit to the quirky seaside town of Deal. Explore the castle from the tunnels below to the battlements above, and visit the exhibition to find out how Henry's turbulent reign shaped England's defences. With displays, children's activities and fascinating artefacts, the whole family can enjoy the rich and varied history of the castle alongside stories of the people who lived and worked here.
