Blog Info

I love Castles, History and Archaeology, If I could have my time again I would train to be a Archaeologist!
I am a keen artist and traveller, I seek adventure however I am also disabled and a dog owner.

So I thought it would be a neat idea to have a blog that I could share some photos of my castle hunting adventures and basic info on these sites from a disabled, dog owning artist!

Dunster Castle

Dunster Castle is a former motte and bailey castle, now a country house, in the village of Dunster, Somerset, England.

Carefully managed by the National Trust this lovely castle is a great visitors attraction
However be warned it is a bit of a walk to the castle, although NT have a shuttle bus that can take people that can't walk to far from the ticket office to the castle.
The castle lies on the top of a steep hill called the Tor, and has been fortified since the late Anglo-Saxon period. There is so much to see and do allow a whole day to visit. Dunster village is also very cute and worth a visit along with the water mill, where you can but flour & porridge ground on site.
