Dunster Bats Castle - Circular Walk

Leaving Dunster we hike through the Deer Park then on to Bats Castle, the remains of an Iron Age Hill Fort with wonderful views of the castle and out to sea. We then descend via lovely woodland paths back to the village where we can see some of Dunsters historic landmarks before enjoying an evening drink at the Lygon Arms.
