The landscape around Dunster is formed by Exmoor’s wooded slopes and the River Avill valley, which have shaped both the settlement’s form and its local economy. The village sits within Exmoor National Park, with its medieval centre gathered below Dunster Castle. Set on a hill above the rooftops, the castle developed from a Norman stronghold and was extensively remodelled in the 19th century. The octagonal Yarn Market, built in 1609, recalls Dunster’s role in the regional wool and cloth trade.
