Welcome to Dunster

The medieval village of Dunster is worthy of a days visit. Its fairy-tale castle overlooks the High Street with the Yarn Market taking centre stage. The beautiful old church with its special bells, the Dovecot, Tithe barn and gardens are all close by. The old corn mill is a short walk not far from Gallox Bridge. Walks up to Grabbist Hill and Bats Castle start here.
