Location Summary
Walmer is a town situated in Kent, which lies on the English Channel, six-miles south-east of Sandwich and eight miles north-east of Dover. Its coastline, castle and castle gardens attract many visitors. Historically the home of the Royal Marines, Walmer now has a dedicated Bandstand on the Green with weekly concerts through the summer. It shares many amenities and services with its adjourning neighbour, the town of Deal, a former fishing and mining town that became a 'limb port' of the Cinque Ports in 1278 and grew into the busiest port in England. Today, Walmer and Deal are a seaside resort with an award-winning High Street, high-speed train Links to St Pancras and independent shops. An array of cafes and pubs sit along the picturesque seafront that is home to a sweeping pier.
