Dunster Castle

I don't know how to begin this post.  I could tell you how Dunster Castle was first a moat and bailey castle in Anglo-Saxon times and how a timber castle was built on the site after the Norman Conquest.  In the 12th century, a stone keep was built and the gradual transition from fortress to grand country house began.

I could try to explain the impact Dunster Castle has had all through its long history but all the time my mind just keeps going 'WOW'.  Wow, we are walking through a 13th Century Gate.

Wow, no wonder they call this the 'Dream Garden'

Wow, look at that fabulous view across the Bristol Channel to Wales.

I know, I haven't mentioned the stunning interiors, the ancient watermill, or the charming village of Dunster.  I am still trying to take it all in myself.
