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.

Now under the care of English Heritage, Deal Castle was built by King Henry VIII between 1539 and 1540. It is open to the public and the tunnels which circle the fort underground are definitely worth exploring. For more details check out the website english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/deal-castle
