About Deal Castle
Deal Castle is an English Heritage site on Marine Road, on the seafront at Deal. The English Heritage page gives opening as daily 10am to 4pm, last entry 3.15pm; the price table did not load when checked, so no price is shown here. Tickets are valid all day and free to English Heritage members; booking ahead online is cheaper.
Accessibility
English Heritage's access page says wheelchair access is limited. There are multiple staircases (spiral and straight, in wood and stone), no lift, no accessible toilet and no adult changing area, and some uneven surfaces; the Rounds are dark tunnels. Disabled parking is next to the castle in the Captain's Paddock. Assistance dogs are welcome and sensory backpacks can be borrowed free.
