The fortified home of the Luttrell family for 600 years, Dunster castle dates back to the 13th century. It was remodelled by Anthony Salvin in the 19th century and boasts a fine 17th century staircase and plaster ceilings. The surroundings include a terraced garden of rare shrubs, an 11.3ha park and a working water-mill nearby, run by the tenant.
