Several years ago I was invited by English friends to visit them in Dorset, I felt in love with the towns of the area, the old churches and the “Smallest Pub “ and of course ,my friends manor that is beautiful! We visited a swannery, and an old castle that I cannot remember the name. The two weeks spent there were unforgettable! I love England , so different from Italy from where I am from. Your video brought back all the wonderful memories I will always cherish!❤️👍🥰🤗🌺

Wow! I never thought I would see Dunster on KZread 😃 I am related to the Luttrell family through my grandmother, on my mother’s side, from Australia 🇦🇺. I have visited twice, once in 1987, and again in 2012, loved it and the beautiful countryside around it. Stay at the Yarn Market Hotel, a wonderful place run by a wonderful family. Just for interest sake, I jammed a 2 pound coin in a crack in one of the beams of the Yarn Market itself 😁. I hope to retrieve it one day.

I am a finnish citizen. My best friend, a Scotsman, lives in Minehad and I took my family with me and we drove down through Europe and visited him the first time there in 2004. After that the visits became many and the kilometers we drove too. We always enjoyed going to Dunster and taking long walks on Exmoor. Somerset is indeed a paradise in UK. The Quantock road winding uphills an downhills with the branches of the trees growing over the road. My daughter was 4 years the first time and she loved Dunster castle because on the day of our visit there was a lot of happenings with performers of all kind and a flee market. She always talks about her memories from those visits.When she grew up her first trip abroad on her own with her boyfriend was going to Minehead and Dunster. They stayed in London 1 night and 6 in Minehead. I, as a former restaurant owner, appreciated the food and service at the Lutrrell arms. Your video brought back many fond memories. Thank you!

This was 10.45 on a Friday morning in Dunster so not really early. Also we try to avoid to many people about because they may not wish to be featured in the video and so we try to avoid filming others up close if at all possible. Thanks.

My mum grew up here in the 60s/70s and it sounded such an idyllic place to be. It was such a safe haven for children, to the extent that they could run around the castle grounds into the night. My grandpa was a painter, glass animal artist, and model ship builder so they lived on Church Street with his shop downstairs (house visible on the left of the screen at 7:46)! Mum worked at the Luttrell Arms as a teenager. Despite living in the North West, we still visit a couple times a year as we have family remaining in Watchet and Minehead. Late family members are also buried in the church grounds up the hill, overlooking the village and the ocean. Thank you for this lovely exploration.

England is so damn cute & historic. I grew up in a village in South London that dated back over a 1000 years. We lived on Park Lane. There was also a West St & Mill Lane. We used to play at the old Mill which was disused but still deep & dangerous! There were many historic parks & the source of a river that ran into the Thames. A lovely & adventureous place to be a child. There were lavender fields, since revived & watercress grew in the streams. Now I live in S Florida where developers are still destroying ancient Native sites! Like the Joni Mitchell song - "They destroyed paradise & put up a parking lot"!
