Deal
Resting in the heart of the fourth best region in the world , Kent ’ s Heritage Coast ( Lonely Planet ’ s words , not ours ), Deal is another creative gem around here , with independent shops and winding streets making it paradise for those visiting from London . You guessed it , our next spot is right on the seafront ( would you expect any less ?), regally positioned and aptly named The Royal Hotel . If like us , you love a street shot featuring some Georgian architecture , get a snap of this historic beauty before heading in to stay the night ; enjoy a glass of our summer favourite and soak up the views of those surrounding shores .
Don ’ t worry , we ’ re keeping things rather regal with our next location too , The Royal Albion Hotel in Broadstairs . Charles Dickens was once a regular guest and its sea-view restaurant overlooks the beautiful , picture-perfect Viking Bay . As the sun sets , we recommend complementing that warm glow with a glass of golden-hued Whitstable Bay Blonde Lager – absolute perfection .
There you have it , a selection of our best spots to sip , sample and be inspired . So please join us in raising a glass of Whitstable Bay to Kent ’ s sensational coast !
