Unique doll collection of Mollie Hardwick

Dramatically located on a wooded hill, the castle has been there since Norman times. Consisting of a remarkable medieval gatehouse and the ruined tower which gives cues of its turbulent past. The Castle as late as Medieval times had the sea at its base during the past and now commands spectacular views across the Bristol Channel and Exmoor. You can witness amazing, breathtaking views from the castle.
The castle that exists today was remade into a lavish country home by Antony Salvin during 1868 and 1872, for the Luttrell family, who stayed there for 600 years. The Luttrells bought the home from the Norman de Mohuns, who had been granted the lands at Dunster by William the Conqueror for services at the Battle of Hastings. The Luttrells gave the Castle to the National Trust in 1976 and now live in East Quantoxhead.
