Dunster Castle

Dunster Castle
Dunster Castle is a former motte and bailey castle, now a country house, in the village of Dunster, Somerset. The castle lies on the top of a steep hill called the Tor, and has been fortified since the late Anglo-Saxon period. The PiP was taken from above the Yarn Market in Dunster which was built in the early 17th century. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building and scheduled monument. The buildings clearly show the red colour of the stone and soil of the region.

Good morning Rosalyn I hope it's a sunny one, the main photo shows the wonderful colour of the stone beautifully, granite is the local stone in this area, I seem to remember a 'topscope' near the castle. I hope you have a pleasant day

Two very beautiful takes on this rose-tinted castle, Rosalyn. The bow window with a veritable hothouse of pink flowers inside is quite rightly the feature to which we are drawn in your main, although the other details are also a pleasure to discover.
Have a nice Sunday!

A wonderfully detailed image of this beautiful country house. I love the colour of the stonework and that beautiful curved bay window.

The PiP is excellent............and from it we can immediately see the scale of the house, which is not so apparent in the main image. Once again, beautiful details and a lovely colour palette.

I hope your weather is better than ours......it's now 2:45pm and the sun is just starting to show it's face! Too late to go anywhere for the day.............

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thank you Keith. The stonework is beautiful. I didn't go inside this time, except for the crypt...photos will follow later! Yes it is a huge castle overlooking the village.

I am pleased the sun is showing its face for you now, but it has been sunny and warm all day here! I did a lot of tidying in the garden.

What a beautiful ancient castle, dear Rosa!The PiP shows its majesty and the charming village, while in the main picture there's such a lovely curved bay window! I love the colour of the stone, both the images are great, perfect to take us back to a very distant past...and dream! ;-)

Lovey Castle so masterly portrayed in these series of images, dear Rosa!
I'm wholly fascinated by this so English mood I loved so much in my stays in your country.
Although never been here, feel so deeply the charm of this site!
I love so much the bow window in teh main picture, I must say !
I have always wished to have one one in my house :-)
Have a nice night, with my best greetings.
