๐Ÿ“ธThis week's #ThrowbackThursday takes us to the Exmoor village of Dunster. ๐Ÿฐ From the High Street, Dunster Castle can be seen - which first appeared after the Norman Conquest. Despite a population of less than 1000, the parish is rich in history. Have you visited before?

Please don't be alarmed if you spot a gritter out and about this week. We sometimes use gritters to dust newly-treated roads in periods of high temperatures, we're not expecting ice! ๐ŸŒก๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ #somersetgrit PS- this is an archive photo!
