Deal is a town in Kent, England which lies on the English Channel, eight miles north-east of Dover and eight miles south of Ramsgate. It is a former fishing, mining and garrison town. Close to Deal is Walmer, a possible location for Julius Caesar's first arrival in Britain.
Deal became a 'limb port' of the Cinque Ports in 1278 and grew into the busiest port in England; today it is a seaside resort, its quaint streets and houses are a reminder of its history along with many ancient buildings and monuments. In 1968, Middle Street was the first Conservation Area in Kent. The coast of France is approximately twenty-five miles from the town and is visible on clear days. The Tudor Deal Castle, commissioned by King Henry VIII, has a rose floor plan.
Deal has several museums; all are related to Deal's maritime history. Both Deal Castle and Walmer Castle are operated by English Heritage - Deal has a display on the events in the reign of Henry VIII that led to the invasion threat which caused its construction, along with some material on its subsequent history, whereas displays at Walmer concentrate on Walmer's post-Tudor role as the Lord Warden's residence. There is also a ruin of the third Tudor castle, Sandown Castle, in North Deal. The Deal Maritime and Local History Museum has exhibits of boats, smuggler galleys and model naval ships. It also contains extensive histories of the lifeboats as well as local parish registers. The Timeball Tower Museum, on the other hand, focuses on the importance of timekeeping for ships, and the role the building it occupies played.

Greenwich Time Ball
The red time ball on top of the old Greenwich Observatory has been raised shortly before 1300 every day since 1833, and then dropped on the hour, formerly signalling to ships on the Thames and in the docks the correct time.
Taken from the Queens House colonnade. I overlooked the fact that the ball is raised in two stages!

THESE BUSES NOW ONLY RUN ON WEEKENDS! Since early 2019, these buses have stopped being used on weekdays due to how quiet they were, so if you're looking to ride one, make sure you visit on a weekend.
'A Great British Adventure' is a series of videos that have taken me all over the UK. The videos are based on the new A-Z 10p coins - they aren't videos about the coins, rather, they use them as a sort of contents page. They will be uploaded every 3 days for the next 3 months or so, although there will be some miscellaneous videos in between (including kitten updates and videos!)

The Royal Observatory, Greenwich (formerly the Royal Greenwich Observatory or RGO), in London played a major role in the history of astronomy and navigation, and is best known as the location of the prime meridian. It is situated on a hill in Greenwich Park, overlooking the River Thames.
The observatory was commissioned in 1675 by King Charles II, with the foundation stone being laid on 10 August. At this time the king also created the position of Astronomer Royal (initially filled by John Flamsteed), to serve as the director of the observatory and to apply himself with the most exact care and diligence to the rectifying of the tables of the motions of the heavens, and the places of the fixed stars, so as to find out the so much desired longitude of places for the perfecting of the art of navigation. The building was completed in the summer of 1676. The building was often given the title Flamsteed House.
The scientific work of the observatory was relocated elsewhere in stages in the first half of the 20th century, and the Greenwich site is now maintained as a tourist attraction.
The Coolest Museum in the World
The Open-World Time Capsule. This is Beamish Open Air Museum, and it's like an open-world video game set during the Industrial Revolution. You can go inside and explore all the buildings, and interact with the hundred or so actor who work around the park, in character / costume. It's so cool!
This is a sort of Bonus Great British Adventure I filmed during summer. This place is only a couple of miles from the Angel of the North, and I really wanted to make a video about it, although it didn’t fit with any of the A-Z themes. So here it is.
