Wheelchair accessible entrance however you would be limited to the one level. Toilets on-site. Lots to read and interact with from the very educational focused site. Plenty to explore on the various levels with amazing views from the battlements. Certainly allow a couple of hours at the very least. Very similar rotundal design to it's sister down the road at Walmer, another of the Cinque Ports. · via Google [Julie Simpson](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112225170567046104141/reviews) ★★★★★ We had been to Walmer Castle before and maybe should have done it the other way round. As although it's an interesting building with lots of history there was not so much to see. The setting isn't as nice either but the entrance price reflects this. You do have to pay to park which entities you to 3 hours parking and I think people had popped into Deal and the beach as well as maybe visiting the castle. · via Google [Polly Wainwright](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/103273612925920935299/reviews) ★★★★★ The last of 3 castles visited this holiday, but not the least ! We'd expected a quick visit here, but, again, found it so interesting. On arrival it appears fairly bare, but once exploring, there's loads to see and do. Great passageways to wander, lots of information boards, and 3 floors to explore. Plenty of parking (free for EH members for 3 hrs / £1.80 an hr otherwise) no height barrier. Free after 6.00pm. Only a 5 min walk from town. Little gift shop, toilets etc. Coffee machine. Great views across the sea. · via Google [Claire Land](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113239721261605606099/reviews) ★★★★★ Lovely little castle, took about an hour to walk round, £1.80 per hour car park fee, we used an English Heritage free pass. Was worth the walk round. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x47deaed0d136178b:0x368ef7dddf43916f!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) Visitors say this castle offers a fascinating glimpse into Tudor history with engaging displays, tunnels, and rooms to explore, providing great views from the battlements.
