This lovely seaside town in the UK is the perfect place for a refreshing autumn walk.
Even when the weather turns cool, it still charms everyone who visits.
This place in Kent, stays peaceful and uncrowded, offering the ideal spot for a quiet stroll before heading towards the sea.
Time Out recommends walking from Deal to Sandwich Bay, a scenic 9-kilometre route that takes around two hours to complete.
For anyone wanting to enjoy the fresh air as autumn sets in, this seaside walk is hard to beat.
One TripAdvisor reviewer wrote: “It’s not as crowded as other beaches. You can find benches to sit on, or sit right by the sea and still have plenty of space around you.”
After your coastal walk, head back into Deal to explore what the town itself has to offer.
Deal Castle is a must-see attraction and one of the best-preserved Tudor artillery forts in England.
One visitor shared on TripAdvisor: “A very interesting place to visit – highly recommend! It looks impressive from the outside, but once inside, you realise how big and fascinating it really is.”
If you’re feeling hungry, there are plenty of great places to eat in Deal. The popular Deal Pier Kitchen is a favourite among visitors for its delicious meals and seaside views.
You can also enjoy freshly caught seafood at one of the many restaurants along the waterfront or tucked away in the town centre.
Deal, a charming coastal gem in South East England, is only 20 minutes from Dover and around 35 minutes from Canterbury, making it an easy day trip.
If you’re planning a visit and want to explore a little more of Kent, there are plenty of other great spots nearby worth adding to your trip.
