On the 12th October I took another coach trip to this wonderful part of Somerset. The day was raining when I left my place. However around Taunton the weather changed and it turned out very pleasant. I heard one person on the coach say that they had been many times and this is not a rarity it happens quite often when you have passed Taunton. We parked in the main public car park just off the A396 where the National Park centre is. You can obtain maps and other interesting items from this centre and is all part of Exmoor National Park.
In the main street of Dunster you will see the Yarn Market a fine structure dating back to the 17th Century. It was used by the town's once flourishing yarn trade, this octagonal pavilion is now a local landmark. The market cross was probably built around 1609 by the Luttrell family who were the local Gentry of the manor, to help maintain the importance of the village as a market, particularly for wool and cloth.
There are many restaurants, cafes, and eating places in the High Street. Just standing and looking down this street is worth the trip here. It brought back many happy memories for me. You can see the beautiful Dunster castle standing resplendent on the hill at the other side of the town. Dunster Castle is a former motte and bailey castle which is now a country house, in the village of Dunster, Somerset .The castle lies on the top of a steep hill called a Tor, and has been fortified since the late Anglo-Saxon period. This castle dates back 1000 years, the gardens here are very beautiful and seem almost tropical. There is plenty to see within this castle. You will also find here on the garden outskirts a working Water Mill where you can buy milled items in the shop which is based inside the mill.
Also within this village you will find the Priory Church of St George, Dunster and Anglican church and at the rear of this church an old Dove cote building and Tithe Barn. Within the High street, you will find a museum called the Dunster Museum and Doll Collection. This trip was well worth it there is so much to see here in this small village.
