Dunster Castle
Fitting in with the Y6 upcoming History topic on castles, they will have the wonderful opportunity to explore the castle and gardens at Dunster.
The 1,000 year old castle with give the students the chance the see how castles were built and how they developed through History.
We will tour the house and gardens in small groups allowing students to get to see as much as possible.
Inside the castle• Each child will be given a
‘Dunster Castle Family Trail’ booklet which will tell them information about the castle and rooms.
• They will get to see how the family have the castle set up now and how it has changed through History.
Touring the grounds• In small groups, we will go
round the grounds of the castle finding items on a given trail.
• They will also have the opportunity to go into the crypt and see the water mill.
Packing tips• Please involve your child in packing their own suitcase – this way
they will know what they own when packing to come home.
• Put names in clothes & footwear – really helps when items get
mixed up.
• Only pack clothes that are ok to get wet & muddy – children get
upset if they get new clothes dirty, thinking that they will be in
trouble.
• Do not pack any electrical items – they may get broken.
• lip balm, sun cream, drinks bottle, book, pocket money, torch &
cuddly toy – all recommended items to pack too.
• A detailed kit list can be reissued.
