The Stags Head Inn
In the centre of medieval Dunster you'll find this friendly, characterful inn serving delicious local food. Its history dates it back to the 16th Century, so it really evokes the traditional charm of the area. There are options for a wide range of dietary requirements, but make sure you book in advance to avoid disappointment.

High on a hill overlooking Exmoor, Dunster Castle has real romance with its turrets and towers. Marvel at the fine interiors and explore the subtropical gardens at this fortress with over 1,000 years of history to discover.

Birds Hill Days
Activities galore including archery, fencing, clay pigeon shooting and CO2 pistol shooting. Add some excitement to your holiday; give them a call to book.

Blue Anchor Bay
Not one for sunbathing - the terrain here is rather rocky - but excellent for budding palaeontologists, since there is an abundance of fossils. The limestone in the rocks sparkles with a pink hue.

Chantry Tea Gardens
A lovely spot for a cream tea, especially in summer when the roses are in bloom!

An idyllically-located Cistercian abbey with fabulous cloisters and a unique painted chamber.
