About This Event

Behind-the-Ropes Tours at Dunster Castle and Watermill take visitors into the inner workings of the castle. The experience includes a new route and the exploration of repurposed spaces and their history. Admission is required.

Step beyond the rope and into the inner workings of Dunster Castle.

Embark on a new route, explore repurposed spaces and discover their history, all with the help of one of our brilliant volunteer guides.

Venture into new areas from the butler's bedroom to the infamous 'creepy corridor', discover fascinating finds and gain an insight into the areas that allow us to do what we do.

Tours are approximately an hour long.
