Originally designed as part of a chain of coastal artillery defences it evolved into the official residence of the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports. The Duke of Wellington held the post for 23 years and enjoyed his time spent at the castle and in recent years Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother made regular visits to the castle. The armchair in which Wellington died and an original pair of 'Wellington boots' along with some of the rooms used by the Queen Mother are among the highlights. And with the magnificent gardens, a woodland walk and some excellent bird spotting there's something for everyone to enjoy. There is also a pleasant cycle path along the beach front to nearby Deal Castle.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/182506/a8ce02cd-8034-4ad4-b86e-80d84448bab0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) [Photo](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/182506/a8ce02cd-8034-4ad4-b86e-80d84448bab0.jpg) by [Karen Roe](https://www.flickr.com/people/28752865@N08) ([Creative Commons Attribution 2.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0)) ## Visit Walmer Things to do - Top hotels in Walmer - Top Holiday Rentals in Walmer ![A luxurious waters-edge holiday home by the sea sleeping 11 right on the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/43000000/42030000/42028100/42028081/96ee4ca8_y.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=340&ch=150) ### A luxurious waters-edge holiday home by the sea sleeping 11 right on the beach Kingsdown Kent Stay at this holiday home in Deal.
