Cycle Hire

Hut 55 Bikes, Deal
Hut 55, Marine Road, Deal CT14 7DN

Ideally situated on the beach and on a cycle route (National Route 1) by Walmer Sea Scout Hut, you can cycle all the way to historic Sandwich along the stunning Ancient Highway or head to St Margaret’s Bay and Dover. Edging your way along the stunning coastline, take in the sea views and explore more of the lovely towns, castles and the historic landmarks en route with minimal road cycling, which makes it ideal for families.

Hut 55 offers bike and electric bike hire by the hour, day or longer and has adults' and kids’ peddle bikes available, along with child seats and trailers. The hut is also a cafe, so not only can you hire bikes you can also buy something delicious before you set off!
