Medieval Castles
Castles have dominated the land for centuries. King Alfred built burhs to hold back the Vikings. King William I built stone strongholds to subdue the English. These are ancient structures offering protection, power and dominance for those tucked safely behind their walls.
Dunster Castle
Dunster Castle, a grand medieval stronghold and now a fine fortified house, has been home to the Luttrell family for 600 years. Commanding a superior defensive position above Dunster medieval village, the stronghold was built to guard the north Somerset coast line. Today it has seen Victorian modifications, giving it the typical grandeur that a castle like this deserves.
