Every footstep in this tranquil Village is steeped in so much History. Who'd want to live anywhere else? Delightful ❤
Well said - charming place!
Dunster is my ancestral home.
I am descended from the Australian side of the Luttrell family who owned the castle, and surrounding countryside.
I fulfilled a life time dream of staying there in 2012, on a 39 day holiday to the UK, and stuck a £2 coin in the gap of one of the beams of the Yarn Market, which I hope to recover one day 🤞🏻.
Bringing back wonderful memories.
Sunday silence 🤫 in Dunster in winter ❄️. Beautiful buildings, full of history. Great video Neal 👍👍
Thank you
Was fun to have the place to myself
I was hoping you were going to go down Park street with thatched cottages and the gallox bridge and Mill Lane with the working water mill. But you did a lovely video of Dunster , it was lovely to watch. It’s one of my favourite places but not been for a while. I enjoyed your other Dunster video you did as well…thank you so much.😊
2017 we where there and stayed in the lovely Luttrell Arms Hotel. Felt in love with Minehead 😊
Thank you, very much enjoyed this
Our pleasure!
Great video of a beautiful village
Thanks so much!
What a pretty place, I've never heard of it. Going to be added to my wish list for sure. Thanks for the video
Our pleasure!
Lovely video! I adore Dunster. Castle Coffee House which you showed in the video near the castle does amazing home made donuts on a Saturday, often themed to the season, like toffee apple donuts for bonfire night. I love the variety old buildings here and their characters. The yarn market is stunning. I have never looked at the inside so closely so really enjoyed looking at it through your lens.
Oooh I like the sound of those donuts!
Oh, you missed so many beautiful bits of the village! Medieval Gallox Bridge, the iconic thatched cottages on Park Street, Dunster Mill, Dunster Castle, Tithe Barn, the medieval Dovecote, Conygar Tower and views towards the village and the castle from Conygar Hill! Perhaps come again in the summer time? :)
Next time!
A vary good video of DUNSTER!.👌👌✔✔👍👍
Thank you 🙏
nice tour
Thanks!
At once, I recognized this town from an episode of Poirot called «A Cornish Mystery». Nice video again, thanks 😊
Good video but I prefer them without the background music. It's hard to find walks without music and it's one of the reasons I liked your videos so much.
Noted!
