Get cosy: things to do in Deal this Autumn
As the leaves turn and the air gets cooler, Deal in Kent transforms into the perfect place for a cosy Autumn escape. Whether you’re after long walks, comfort food, or quiet moments by the sea, there’s plenty to enjoy here.
Here are 7 of the best things to do in and around Deal, Kent this Autumn.
1. Wander Along Deal Seafront
Wrap up warm, grab a takeaway coffee, and take in the sea views. The beach and pier are peaceful in Autumn, and the changing light makes for beautiful walks at any time of day.
2. Explore Deal Castle and Walmer Castle
Both are just a short walk apart and full of history. Deal Castle dates back to Henry VIII (don’t they all!), while Walmer Castle’s gardens are particularly beautiful in Autumn filled with changing leaves and late blooms.
3. Visit the Saturday Market
Deal’s weekly market is a local favourite. You’ll find everything from seasonal produce to antiques and handmade gifts; perfect if you want to take a little piece of Deal home with you. Don’t forget to try the Swedish buns!
4. Warm Up in a Cosy Café
Pop Up Café and Hope & Lane Coffee House are ideal for a lazy brunch or a mid-morning pick-me-up. Order something freshly baked, watch the world go by, and enjoy the slower pace of Autumn by the sea.
5. Take a Day Trip to Sandwich or Folkestone
Both are just a short drive or train ride away. Sandwich is full of medieval charm, while Folkestone’s Harbour Arm has great street food, art, and sea views; perfect for a blustery Autumn afternoon.

6. Indulge in a Sunday Roast
No Autumn visit is complete without one. The Port Arms and The Royal Hotel both serve proper roasts with all the trimmings. If you have a car (or a bike) then head to The Lamp Room in Betteshanger Park, or The Lantern Inn in Martin. Pair with a local ale and you’ll be set for the afternoon.
7. Curl Up Back at The House in Deal
After a day of exploring, there’s nothing better than heading back to your own warm, comfortable space at The House in Deal. Cook dinner in the kitchen, pour a glass of wine, and settle in for a peaceful evening.
