And views across Kent to the South-West

Deal Castle is an artillery fort built by Henry VIII in Deal, Kent, between 1539 and 1540. It was part of the King's Device program to protect against invasions from France and the Holy Roman Empire, and defended the strategically important Downs anchorage off the English coast. Consisting of a keep with six inner and outer bastions, the water-surrounded stone castle covered 0.85 acres (0.34 ha) and had sixty-six firing positions for artillery. During the Second English Civil War of 1648-49, Deal was captured by pro-Royalist rebels and was only recaptured by Parliamentary forces after several months of fighting. Although still armed, Deal was adapted by Sir John Norris and Lord Carrington during the 18th and 19th centuries to form a more suitable private home for the captain of the castle, which was now an honorary title.

Sadly short lived venture at a beautiful old Pub Restaurant

Well worth the price of admission on a hot day with a family. Slowly take in the garden and tea rooms attached.

Very steep at 22% this hills is both favoured and avoided by differing degrees of cyclists

The round shape of the fortress is striking; from above it looks like a rose blossom. The round shape was designed to better withstand the projectiles from ships' cannons.
