Dunster's other main attraction is it's Castle, which stands high above the town. It was the final Somerset stronghold of the Royalists in in the Civil War (1642-9) the Parliamentarians led by Robert Blake eventually prevailed after 160 Days. It was during this period of turmoil that the market was renovated in 1647. The Castle is open to the public and has extensive gardens, which reach down to the river.
