Bike rides (to the pub on the beach)

We recommend you take the bicycle track that runs from Deal to Kingsdown. It’s not only great for cycling (bikes can be hired at Hut 55), but it’s also a lovely walk perfect for pushing a baby stroller on the miles of flat pathway. Do not miss the Zetland Arms in Kingsdown, which is an incredible pub right on the beach!
