Descripción

Dunster is approximately 3 miles South Southeast of the coastal town of Minehead. At the heart of the village is the National Trust property of Dunster Castle (see nationaltrust.org.uk/dunstercastle for opening times). The village has the River Avil on it's Southern edge where Mirlo-acuático Europeo and Lavandera Cascadeña are common. Part of the walk is along the long distance Macmillan Way West passing the iron age settlements of Bat's Castle and Gallox Hill (sometimes called Black Ball Camp) where Tarabilla común are common. Amongst wooded areas look for Pico Picapinos, Herrerillo Común, Carbonero Común, Mito Común, Pinzón Vulgar and Cárabo Común. During Summer Mosquitero Común, Papamoscas Cerrojillo, Curruca Zarcera and occasionally Alcotán Europeo have been seen. Amongst conifer trees Piquitureto Común and Reyezuelo Sencillo can be expected.

Información extra

BE AWARE Dunster can become VERY BUSY during the Summer Months especially at weekends, the castle is a popular visitor attraction and car parks can get full. A visit outside of these times or EARLY MORNING is best. As you can see by map there are numerous other paths and shortcuts available.
