Beschrijving
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 Waterspreeuw and Grote Gele Kwikstaart 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 Roodborsttapuit are common. Amongst wooded areas look for Grote Bonte Specht, Pimpelmees, Koolmees, Staartmees, Vink and Bosuil. During Summer Tjiftjaf, Bonte Vliegenvanger, Grasmus and occasionally Boomvalk have been seen. Amongst conifer trees Kruisbek and Goudhaan can be expected.
