Friday 29th May dawned very wet and very windy. It was quite exciting being in the van on top of the hill with the wind whistling and the rain beating! Couldn't see far at all - certainly not over the Bristol Channel to Wales. Eventually it cleared up and we went back to visit Dunster Castle.

Dunster Castle was the "seat" of the Luttrell family for over 600 years until taxes became so burdensome that they gave it to the National Trust.

Here's their dining room all set out for dinner.

There was even a menu for dinner but unfortunately no food. Apparently Laal Maas is a curry from Rajasthan.

The Castle was built on top of a steep mound and there are magnificent views in all directions.

In the afternoon we went back to Minehead and took the West Somerset Railway from there to Bishops Lydeard near Taunton and back to Minehead.

The round trip took about three and a half hours. Here's the engine shunting from one end of the train to the other at Bishops Lydeard.

After the train trip we went back up onto Selworthy Beacon and found an even higher parking place for the night. Here's a view looking south towards Exmoor.

There was a nice sunset.
