Located on the north coast near Bristol, and a convenient stop on the way back to Pembroke for the ferry back to Ireland, is Dunster.
It caught my attention not just because of the location, but the description that it is the best preserved medieval town in UK.
Dunster
lives up to the reputation, though pretty small with just one road
through the village, has higgledy-piggledy old houses, all different in
sizes and designs.

| Dovecote |
A few
beautiful old wooden structures around, beautiful flowery public
gardens, a most amazing dovecote where doves were raised for food in the
old days, and a castle up in the hill nearby.
The castle buildings have changed over the years and now resemble a big Manor House.
What
I like most is the garden around the buildings, with many tropical
plants with giant leaves because of the mild microclimate, gives it a romantic charm.
