About This Event

The Behind-the-Ropes Tours (weekends) at Dunster Castle and Watermill allow visitors to step beyond the rope and into the inner workings of the castle, exploring repurposed spaces and discovering their history.

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.

Please note that that these tours are subject to volunteer availability.
