Every week Mouse has the tricky task of choosing a #MouseFavouritePhoto and this week was no easier. This photo though captures the anticipation of a first visit to a new heritage site. So near... and yet so far #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset
Is it Mouse's imagination or is this castle not getting any closer? Still impressive though #OnTheWayToDunsterCastle part III #Dunster #Somerset

Wonderful C17 over mantle #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset #FireplaceFriday
On one level this seems quite saucy for it's time, but on another there are strong hints at Britain's darkest history

For lovers of big knockers everywhere. This, on the main gate of #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset, is a whopper. Those rose head nail studs are pretty impressive too #FerrousFriday

And as #FireplacesMeanFarewell, what of #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset? The remnants of a medieval castle subsumed by a Victorian home. The interior is not to Mouse's taste but the exterior is a building detective's dream. Mouse award 4/5 #MusVisit 🐭🐭🐭🐭

Once you're in, you're not getting out . The crypt of #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset. Typical C13 square set window with tapered monolithic lintel and cill. You sometimes see those appearing as spolia if you ever wondered what they were. Serious bars too #FerrousFriday

A Mouse #TwoFah one; a fine fireplace and a (possibly) even finer coat of arms. The portraits are the type where human eyes appear instead of the painted ones and literally follow you around the room #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset #FireplaceFriday #LesArmoiriesDuVendredi

This was designed with security in mind. Rough but solid construction and a few centuries of running repairs. Plus a bonus #Pintle #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset #AdoorableThursday #Thursgate #IronworkThursday #PintlesInAction

The door to the Tenant's Hall #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset
A rather fine planked, filleted and ledged door with styles that extend over the semicircular head. C17 and really rather pleasing #AdoorableThursday

This isn't just a gate, this is a polychrome, multi-textured work of art. Small #WicketGate set in the right hand (as facing) leaf. #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset #AdoorableThursday #Thursgate #IronworkThursday

The medieval gate #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset. The setting is C13, double chamfered pointed segmental arch, and the door, well... the door is magnificent #AdoorableThursday

Time for Mouse's #FridaysBitsAndPieces from #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset. The bits and pieces Mouse didn't get to share in the week. Mouse long held the view that Victorians saw the shouldered arch as emblematic of medieval architecture. This is off the entrance hall

The C17 hall of #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset. Rather nice Renaissance circular arches sit on either side. Shame the portrait is off centre. It makes Mouse's whiskers twitch

No expense spared....
Ornate carvings decorate the staircase of #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset. Fruit anyone? #Woodensday

Planked, braced with cast iron straps and secured with huge rose nail studs. This is a big castle and so if you want your guests to be heard you need a serious knocker. Mouse imagine the sound from a Gothic horror movie #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset #AdoorableThursday

Now that really is a #TinyWindow. One for #TinyWindowTuesday from #DunsterCastle #Somerset. Old. Very old. But one to file under #DullButWorthy

Made it. Welcome to Dunster Castle. A little bit medieval, a lot Victorian and later. To the right a view of the coast through palm trees. Mouse feel like she in Amalfi #OnTheWayToDunsterCastle part IV #Dunster #Somerset #DunsterCastle

Is there such a thing as #WatermillWednesday? Well, if there wasn't, there is now. The mill on the #DunsterCastle estate #Dunster #Somerset
(It's an overshot one if anyone's interested. The alternatives are undershot and one Mouse can't say because it makes her do a rude giggle)

Happy Throwback Thursday! Here’s a nostalgic photo of Maurice Bishop’s Gallery and Castle Cottage, with the walk up to Dunster Castle. A timeless corner of our village! 🕰️

Well that was definitely worth that seeming endless uphill climb. But don't run away with the idea that we've reached a medieval castle. This is the C17 and C19 idea of what a castle looks like. We can still have a little poke about for some original bits #DunsterCastle #Somerset

This Nuthatch was having a good explore around Dunster Castle when I visited a couple of weeks ago.

"Cause if you like it, then you should've put a crest on it". Oh you did. It's just so subtle Mouse must have missed it. The tower porch of the very grand #DunsterCastle #Somerset #TowerTuesday
