I was lucky to spend a lot of my childhood holidays there. My aunts retired there, absolutely love the place, I haven’t been there in a while but when I go back it’s like coming home. Aunties are long dead and are buried there, so many happy memories
Similar for me, I had 3 aunts who lived at the Oval,17 West Street. This is the red sandstone cottage shown at 2:17. We spent many happy times there from the early 1970s up until the early 2000's. The village is a truly magical place.
I was born in Dunster. My parents moved to Buckinghamshire when I was very young. We would visit Dunster every summer to see my grandparents. I remember getting ice cream near the Yarn Market.
Wow! I never thought I would see Dunster on UA-cam 😃 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.
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!❤️👍🥰🤗🌺
I lived there in the late 1990s. For an Australian, it was an incredible experience, everyday. Walking in the woods above the misty cemetery at dawn replays in my mind like a movie scene now.
used to visit this lovely town when I lived at home in London, now in New Zealand.. stayed near this lovely village on our honeymoon at Porlock in 1972.
I am treated as a freak of nature as someone in his mid 20's who loves such travels and I rarely find a friend to accompany me. So these well-made videos are a bless thanks so much.
It's all so stunning. Especially the Abby. Im so grateful for your videos. I'm in Georgia, USA. I may never get there but at least I have you guys. Thank you.
❤❤The only country in this world that preserves everything old and beautiful for the next generation, it is so important to hold on to history. Thank you guys for the amazing video, on your site each time I miss home.
Beautiful shot of the cassle in the back ground , then pulling back and down to show the beatiful image contrast between the fore ground and the background cool.
Another nice jaunt to a lovely part of England we used to call Home! Apparently you can get a rail connection from Taunton to Bishops Lydeard Station, which is where the WSR begins & you can disembark at Dunster - you don't have to be a fan of stream trains as this is a very enjoyable trip. The castle is well worth a visit -perhaps a bit later into spring, and takes a few hours to do justice. I have fond childhood memories of Dunster, especially of their clover honey! Funny the things that stick in your mind, I can still taste it now - or would like to! I grew up in Somerset and then we moved to the Quantocks, from Devon, for a little while before heading to The Borders - and then to the Far South... (This was after I lived in Chicago, of course - whoops - it's not you guys going there soon!) Keep safe & enjoying your travels.
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. Seeing so many comments on here enjoying this magical place made my heart warm.
Even in rainy weather, England is so beautiful. I wish I was able to visit this lovely village. The history is just amazing. Thank you for sharing it with us.
My daughter lives in Somerset, lots of beautiful manor houses to visit, she is a carer and her gentleman loves to walk, they been there and Wells is beautiful as well,
Hi Simon and Will. Hope you’re both doing well. What a lovely area. Loved the yarn market and would be great to have a peek in the Lettrell Arms Hotel. Those chocolate box houses are a treat and a great prelude to a peaceful walk in the forest when it’s raining. The Abbey and grounds are impressive. Look forward to more of the area next week. ❤Memory Seekers! Simply the best.
Yes I would have liked to look inside the hotel as well. There was a wedding going on to happen that day, which must have been lovely for the couple. Amazing setting.
What a " typical English village" Im assuming those of us who have never seen one would be saying lol. I quite expected to see Miss Marple walking down the street shopping basket on arm. Even with the rain this was a lovely episode. The workmanship in those old buildings is amazing, what craftsman those old builders were. Thanks for yet another great tour. Cheers Cheryl 🙂
It could be another "Yarn Market" in another village ? but I think an episode of Poirot was filmed here. Edit, Poirot was filmed here , the episode being "The Cornish Mystery"
I had the great pleasure of staying five days in Dunster a few years ago - complete magic. This wonderful video brought it back to life but it's often in my head anyway. Some day I really hope to get back, an ocean away.
How lovely to spend 5 days there as a base. I was saying in another comment how we would like to come back after a day out and have the village to spend the evening in at the pubs and restaurants. Looks wonderful!
Hermoso vídeo! me encanta imaginarme a las personas de la edad media caminando, comprando, vendiendo etc. en esas históricas villas. Gracias por compartir el video.
Went to Dunster Castle years ago when I lived in Somerset back in 2009. It is definitely worth a visit for those who have the opportunity of going there. The steam train to Minehead is also highly recommended. Thanks for making me miss this beautiful part of the world.
Thankyou so much, I am really enjoying watching them from abroad, I'd forgotten how much it rained. 😮 I do laugh everytime you say, "Well worth a visit"... do Blue Peter badge winners get in free? ❤
It’s really no point trying anymore; It’s all been said before me, that you make the best videos, period! What a stunning village! Sad I was in Bath for a month just last year, and didn’t know your channel then; I would have visited this lovely place. Well there’s always this year. The information you’ve shared helps all manner of visitors; those of us who use public transportation and those of you with a car. How you make travel for everyone so easy and accessible; that is the strength of your videos, aside from all the beautiful footage. Thank you again for helping us all live vicariously through your amazing travels. Best UA-cam channel!
Sold! Looks like you were there just before or after the full tourist season: looks too charming and has too much infrastructure (medieval and modern) to be so empty. Such places can seem all your own when you're a visitor, especially if you're a determined Yank like me. 😉 Hard to believe such a place is even real. Closest I've seen to this in St Davids, Wales, another cozy little village (I know, technically a city) with a massive church looming over it, that famous Norman-built pile. Anyway, if for some reason I ever get to Somerset, I have to visit Dunster!
So much history (thanks for researching), so many beautiful houses and villages. I love my Sunday morning wake ups when I go tripping around with you both while having my toast and coffee. Thank you so much as always. =-)
I will never not like and look forward to your videos! In my opnion, you are both are superb videographer, cinematographer and storyteller. It's like walking around the scenery with good friends😊.I want to be able to create videos with stories like you! ❤😊
That Douglas Fir has my respect - there are some lofty firs here on the West Coast of Canada. Exmoor is a delight, presented perfectly in this log. Thank you!💐
Thanks as always for a great video. I still have photos of a visit my wife and I made with our baby son to the beautiful village of Dunster - he will be 38 next month, so it was a while ago!
Astounding views.. I wonder how many more beautiful villages exist in England, so far seen from your blog each village is unique in its history, charm & exquisite picturesque ❤ I absolutely loved the whole video😍 & I whole heartedly owe u both for many mind blowing & relaxing videos till date.. 😊 I felt im walking at every step enjoying the village, weather & soothing background music.. your videos are so addictive 😍 & best heart therapy that I'm lucky being your subscriber.. thanks for sharing & loving it as always ❤
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!
Co hort..thank you thats lovely information.. brilliant idea to leave a coin that you will come back for.i wonder what you will leave on your next visit..
Been here quite a few times ,we stayed in a village just a few minutes away called Carhampton. We would go into Dunster to eat also we found a brilliant local artist Maurice Bishop. He had 2 galleries there at the time,one at the start of the Village and one at Castle gate.We bought a lovely framed print of Horner Woods and 2 smaller prints of Dunster.His work covers Somerset and Exmore. We also found in the gift shop a garden ornament of The Yarn Market that i still have .All to remind me of the most wonderful holidays in the most beautiful of counties. Truly magical,so much to see and do .❤❤❤.
I'm finding this very hard to watch it's absolutely beautiful, and I've been here years ago when my children were small...and I've reached a point in my life where this is all important to me the beauty the history and I just want to be there right now soaking it all in...I'm staying Glastonbury in a few weeks so I'm going to re visit this place because I'm bubbling with excitement 😊
It's amazing to think these buildings are from the 1400s. As an American, we haven't any buildings besides native American caves that age. It seems almost impossible.
There are many things far older than that in Europe. Think of the Roman Emire, prehistoric Stonehenge, The Acropolis (5000 BC) and many more. We have very rich history here and many rich cultures. . But the good news is, it's your history as well in a way! :) After all, the first Americans all came from Europe.
And the fact that George Washington still condsidered himself a Brit makes you think 🤔 Also why do think Boston looks like an English town???? Anyways great video I’d love to check out Somerset since I found out that’s where my family is from originally
I appreciate your style. Saying just enough about what we're seeing (instead of diluting/dulling it by over narrating). Also, when there was music added, it was subtle, just a hint versus other videos that have annoyingly loud music that repels me.😁 Breathtakingly beautiful scenery. Thank you!
Gents, as always, you produce another masterpiece video showcasing another masterpiece location. If a village can be this stunning on a rainy day, how fantastic it must be on a sunny day. Thanks for the parking information. I know I will have to drive on my next visit to the UK, and this is extremely helpful. All the best!
No problem Todd, we like to try and make it as easy as possible to know where you need to go. It’s not a place you can visit easily without the car for sure.
Thank You Simon and Will for another great video. I think Exmoor is a place for me to start and then explore the villages like Dunster. The only challenge I face is finding 1-2 people who are willing to make this trip with me. However since I have 3 yrs. to figure that out ... But I had a feeling this would be the area in the country would like to start first.
@@MemorySeekers I've stood under that amazing roof many times, and thought about all that excited dealing as the buyer's and seller's barter for a deal.
Oh how lovely it is to go for a walk along these picturesque streets under the soft spring rain! Absolutely amazing and so calming! Thank you a lot and greetings from Ukraine! ✌🇺🇦
Hi. I always love your videos. I also like your narrations. They are both soothing and nostalgic. Always looking forward to your next videos. Thank you..
What a delightful village! Thank you for sharing. It’s been a dream of mine to live in 🇬🇧 for awhile so I could visit all the lovely places & people. There are so many historic places to explore. I would never be bored. So glad YT recommended your channel. Thanks ever so much! Greetings from Nebraska, USA.
One charming view after the other in this area! The Douglas Fir! As a child we always had Douglas Fir Christmas trees, which were trucked down to San Diego from Oregon. Sorry you weren't able to film a visit to the Castle in Dunster, though that would probably have been a whole video in itself. The Refectory roof at Cleeve Abbey is amazing! You covered a lot in this one, and I'm looking forward to seeing those Exmoor ponies next time. Cheers, guys!
It certainly has a lot going on in the area. I can see why people have it as a base. A lovely village to come home to after a day out on Exmoor. I wouldn't mind spending a few nights there to get a proper feel for it and enjoy the pubs and restaurants. When I saw the tree, I actually thought it could not really be the tallest in the country, it didn't look tall enough. Not sure what I was expecting mind you. Haha. The ponies were very sweet, they are supposed to be quite common but we struggled to find them on the moors.
I MUST visit England sometime soon , I would love tho affordable it would be on a budget, where to stay etc.. I love the history, i'm so drawn to England.
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"!
I was lucky to spend a lot of my childhood holidays there. My aunts retired there, absolutely love the place, I haven’t been there in a while but when I go back it’s like coming home. Aunties are long dead and are buried there, so many happy memories

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.
Hope you make it back, what a wonderful connection you have to the village.

my late dad had fallen in love with this place, visited it in the 1970s
I suspect that little has changed and it is as he saw it.
I’m so grateful that an old Anglophile like myself can visit these places, thanks to you. Very enjoyable ❤
Our pleasure! So pleased you enjoy them.

Each village is better than the last! Y'all are so blessed to live in such a beautiful country with such an amazing history. As always many thanks!🙂
It is slowly getting harder to find villages we have not visited! I hope we don't run out.

Wow how beautiful is that. Such a lot to offer everywhere you go. Just loved it. Thanks for taking me along. Please take care
It's amazing to think these buildings are from the 1400s. As an American, we haven't any buildings besides native American caves that age. It seems almost impossible.
Yes it is amazing the survive the ravages of time!
There are many things far older than that in Europe. Think of the Roman Emire, prehistoric Stonehenge, The Acropolis (5000 BC) and many more. We have very rich history here and many rich cultures. . But the good news is, it's your history as well in a way! :) After all, the first Americans all came from Europe.
And the fact that George Washington still condsidered himself a Brit makes you think 🤔 Also why do think Boston looks like an English town???? Anyways great video I’d love to check out Somerset since I found out that’s where my family is from originally
5000 BC 😂
For us Indians (the real ones), 1400 is modern times.
Loved every minute of this tour of Dunster.
I appreciate your style. Saying just enough about what we're seeing (instead of diluting/dulling it by over narrating). Also, when there was music added, it was subtle, just a hint versus other videos that have annoyingly loud music that repels me.😁
Breathtakingly beautiful scenery. Thank you!
Another one to add to my list. I enjoy your tour videos & always look forward to the next one.
Thank you Jackie, make sure the list gets some crossed off as visited. ☺
Gents, as always, you produce another masterpiece video showcasing another masterpiece location. If a village can be this stunning on a rainy day, how fantastic it must be on a sunny day. Thanks for the parking information. I know I will have to drive on my next visit to the UK, and this is extremely helpful. All the best!
No problem Todd, we like to try and make it as easy as possible to know where you need to go. It’s not a place you can visit easily without the car for sure.
Thank You Simon and Will for another great video. I think Exmoor is a place for me to start and then explore the villages like Dunster. The only challenge I face is finding 1-2 people who are willing to make this trip with me. However since I have 3 yrs. to figure that out ... But I had a feeling this would be the area in the country would like to start first.
this reminds me of the movie "Lorna Doone." I can't wait to visit!!!
A beautiful place and well presented, I miss England looking at this.
Thank you Linda, so we make you miss it. 😨☺

Found this just now by coincidence. What a lovely made video, supptle music and informative. I really enjoyed it.
Hope you like some of our other videos, thanks so much for the comment and watching!
This video was excellent!!! I loved watching it and seeing England as I would not have been able. Thank you.
Thank you Elizabeth. ☺
The yarn 🧶 market is exquisite built like a ship the windows are quintessential Tudor perfection
That is certainly one way of putting it. Yes the beams built to last forever and its doing pretty well at that!. Quite something.
@@MemorySeekers I've stood under that amazing roof many times, and thought about all that excited dealing as the buyer's and seller's barter for a deal.
I wish I could go there.
Thank you for making these videos. Its a great way to see and enjoy the past.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh how lovely it is to go for a walk along these picturesque streets under the soft spring rain! Absolutely amazing and so calming! Thank you a lot and greetings from Ukraine! ✌🇺🇦
9:15 Ah, it's nice to see my country flag even there in English countryside.
Glory to Ukraine - To heroes the glory! 🇺🇦
Glad you enjoyed it, take care.
Despite the rain it was a beautiful film!
Many thanks for this.
Yes the rain was a pain but there were some bright spots now and again.
What a lovely little village!
It really is.
The Poirot episode 'A Cornish Mystery' was filmed here in the late eighties.
Thank you so much, it is truly amazing
You're very welcome!
Hi. I always love your videos. I also like your narrations. They are both soothing and nostalgic. Always looking forward to your next videos. Thank you..
Thank you so much!
The villages what you find are absolutely beautiful , thankyou
I have to say thanks to our sponsor for that one. I had not got Dunster on our village radar before they contacted us. It was a super place.
Thank you! We are hoping to relocate next year to this area and I cannot wait x
Good luck hope it happens 😊
الهدوء السكينه وراحة البال
What a delightful village! Thank you for sharing. It’s been a dream of mine to live in 🇬🇧 for awhile so I could visit all the lovely places & people. There are so many historic places to explore. I would never be bored. So glad YT recommended your channel. Thanks ever so much! Greetings from Nebraska, USA.
That Yarn Market Pavillion.... wasn't there a Poirot movie filmed there?
Just to say,played this twice ,thankyou for a lovely
reminder.😊
☺
Beautiful, thankyou for sharing.
Our pleasure, thank you for watching.
A very pleasant and informative video. Makes me want to return to England once more. Thank you.
Please do!
These villages are so amazing. Thank you for this great video.
Thank you for watching.
One charming view after the other in this area! The Douglas Fir! As a child we always had Douglas Fir Christmas trees, which were trucked down to San Diego from Oregon. Sorry you weren't able to film a visit to the Castle in Dunster, though that would probably have been a whole video in itself. The Refectory roof at Cleeve Abbey is amazing! You covered a lot in this one, and I'm looking forward to seeing those Exmoor ponies next time. Cheers, guys!
It certainly has a lot going on in the area. I can see why people have it as a base. A lovely village to come home to after a day out on Exmoor. I wouldn't mind spending a few nights there to get a proper feel for it and enjoy the pubs and restaurants. When I saw the tree, I actually thought it could not really be the tallest in the country, it didn't look tall enough. Not sure what I was expecting mind you. Haha.
The ponies were very sweet, they are supposed to be quite common but we struggled to find them on the moors.
So informative and relaxing to watch. Thanks
Thank you so much!
Yay! Thank you for a new adventures! ❤
You are welcome.
I MUST visit England sometime soon , I would love tho affordable it would be on a budget, where to stay etc.. I love the history, i'm so drawn to England.
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"!
Well described
