The Neighborhood:
This apartment is located in the heart of Dunster, one of England’s prettiest medieval villages set within Exmoor National Park. It is known to date back to 700AD and was first mentioned in the Doomsday Book. Today it is now known as the jewel of Exmoor’s crown. With over 200 listed buildings, the village maintains its historic charm.
There is so much to explore in this small village. Find the National Trust’s Dunster Castle, dating back to the 11th century: with beautiful Grade II listed parkland, a river, a Victorian reservoir, a water mill and wildlife (including otters, kingfishers and salmon). Enjoy a peaceful afternoon tea at the Watermill Tea Room or pick up a bite to eat from the Tenants’ Hall pop-up cafè.
Other attractions include the Old Yarn Market, located on the high street, which was once a hub for the Exmoor wool trade. Dunster Railway station operates a 20-mile railway route from Bristol Channel to the Quantock Hills with stunning views over meadows, hills and countryside. There are ample walks too, including Lover’s Bridge, the Church Gardens and the pretty Tall Trees Trail.
The apartment has a very unique location, with both the countryside and coast at its fingertips. Exmoor National Park can be explored straight from the door, marking the start of the 630-mile South West Coast footpath. It is home to a beautiful collection of fauna and flora, as well as Red Deer and the Exmoor Pony. Plus, the Somerset coast is just a 10-minute drive away boasting expansive beaches and holiday attractions.
