It is impossible to miss the rosy-red turrets and towers of Dunster Castle. The Castle rests high on the Tor at Dunster, with a bird’s-eye view of the coast and Exmoor below. The Castle’s fortified look is now purely a façade to the beautifully furnished and decorated rooms inside – tastefully re-modelled in Victorian times. Yet a thousand years back, the sea lapped at the bottom of the Tor and a hill-fort on top guarded against raiding Celts and Vikings. Dunster is definitely a castle with a past.
