Informação 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.
