Dunster information

Dunster is a village in north west Somerset, England, situated on the Bristol Channel coast 2.5 miles (4 km) south south east of Minehead and 20 miles north west of Taunton. The village has a population of 860 (2001). The village has numerous restaurants and 3 pubs. West Street is the oldest street, although a quieter street than the high street it has three specialist shops - a florist, a kitchen ware shop and and a gift shop, and at the end of west street you can find the working Watermill.
Dunster was listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Torre, meaning 'The rocky hill' from the Old English tor. The prefix 'Duns' may well be a reference to the Saxon Dunn, who held land in nearby Elworthy and Willet before 1066.
Dunster Beach is located half a mile from the village. The beach site has a number of privately owned beach huts (or chalets as some owners call them) along with a small shop, tennis court and putting green. (...) more....
