Deal is a great place to explore on foot. It's small, compact, flat with so many nooks and crannies of interest that are only revealed when walking.
The Cycling & Walking Map covers Deal, Walmer and Sholden and includes places to visit, conservation areas, bus stops, public toilets, green spaces, footpaths and cycle paths, without it all looking too cluttered.
The map introduces the Cycle Quietway Network. This has been developed with local riders and it uses traffic free cycle paths and low traffic roads to connect quickly and easily with the places people want to go.
It shows three new cycle friendly routes, Pier to Parlour, the Skylark Loop and Pier to Pit. They explore our towns by the sea, Deal & Walmer, as well as the glorious English rural landscape inland.
These are more than just rides, all the routes pass a myriad of ‘points of interest’ bringing to life our heritage, history and landscape. You can find out more on the Cycle Friendly Deal pages.
Below you will find details of local walks for all types of walkers and if you'd like to take part in a guided walk, there is also information on local walking groups.
If you are planning to explore the wider rural area around Deal, you will find all the footpaths and bridleways on Kent's Public Rights of Way interactive map.
