What a Deal

By Linda Tancs

The seaside town of Deal in the English county of Kent gives fresh meaning to the phrase “what a deal.” Located where the North Sea and the English Channel meet, this charming town is where pastel-colored dwellings set within winding streets meet with fishermen’s cottages and well-preserved Georgian townhouses. A former smuggling haunt, the seaside gem also boasts two castles commissioned by King Henry VIII. Along with a seaside walk, you’ll enjoy the arts and foodie scene that’s thriving there. Easily accessible via train, the station is a short walk from the seafront.
