Dunster
is known for its castle perched majestically on top of a wooded
hillside. Records show that this has been a site for fortifications
since Norman times. The castle dominates the village of Dunster as it
has done for hundreds of years. The castle is looked after by the
National Trust.
Dunster
claims to be one of the prettiest and most picturesque villages
in Britain. It is certainly worth spending some time here walking
around the village and castle and its grounds.
Dunster
benefits
from being surrounded by beautiful countryside as well as having a good
beach nearby. Some of the buildings in Dunster are hundreds of years
old. The High Street and Yarn Market, the Tithe Barn and Gallox Bridge
all take you back in time and are set against wonderful countryside
scenes. The stuff of oil paintings!
Each
year Dunster
has a country fair around the end of July. It features all aspects of
countrylife with live demonstrations of equestrian, dogs, hawks,
country life and even helicopter rides and plenty of fun attractions
for the kids.
