Every week Mouse has the tricky task of choosing a #MouseFavouritePhoto and this week was no easier. This photo though captures the anticipation of a first visit to a new heritage site. So near... and yet so far #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset

And as #FireplacesMeanFarewell, what of #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset? The remnants of a medieval castle subsumed by a Victorian home. The interior is not to Mouse's taste but the exterior is a building detective's dream. Mouse award 4/5 #MusVisit 🐭🐭🐭🐭

As sure as #FireplacesMeanFarewell, Mouse move on. But not moving on that far for this leg of the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast, you can see Mouse's next destination from #DunsterCastle

Wonderful C17 over mantle #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset #FireplaceFriday
On one level this seems quite saucy for it's time, but on another there are strong hints at Britain's darkest history

A Mouse #TwoFah one; a fine fireplace and a (possibly) even finer coat of arms. The portraits are the type where human eyes appear instead of the painted ones and literally follow you around the room #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset #FireplaceFriday #LesArmoiriesDuVendredi

Just to prove that it's not just church door fittings that have an enduring allure; the door to the tenant's hall #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset. The 'pear shaped' door pull is a recurring design motif from the earliest medieval doors on. Double key holes too #FerrousFriday

Once you're in, you're not getting out . The crypt of #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset. Typical C13 square set window with tapered monolithic lintel and cill. You sometimes see those appearing as spolia if you ever wondered what they were. Serious bars too #FerrousFriday

For lovers of big knockers everywhere. This, on the main gate of #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset, is a whopper. Those rose head nail studs are pretty impressive too #FerrousFriday

Time for Mouse's #FridaysBitsAndPieces from #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset. The bits and pieces Mouse didn't get to share in the week. After Mouse climbed up that big hill, she was a bit disappointed with the castle. Turned out the real thing was behind her

Time for Mouse's #FridaysBitsAndPieces from #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset. The bits and pieces Mouse didn't get to share in the week. Mouse long held the view that Victorians saw the shouldered arch as emblematic of medieval architecture. This is off the entrance hall

The door to the Tenant's Hall #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset
A rather fine planked, filleted and ledged door with styles that extend over the semicircular head. C17 and really rather pleasing #AdoorableThursday

The Tenant's Hall #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset
A C17 addition, built on the C15 gatehouse and essentially continuing the style of the original building (something Mouse approves of). It's so realistic that Mouse could barely see the join either physically or in style

This was designed with security in mind. Rough but solid construction and a few centuries of running repairs. Plus a bonus #Pintle #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset #AdoorableThursday #Thursgate #IronworkThursday #PintlesInAction

This isn't just a gate, this is a polychrome, multi-textured work of art. Small #WicketGate set in the right hand (as facing) leaf. #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset #AdoorableThursday #Thursgate #IronworkThursday

Planked, braced with cast iron straps and secured with huge rose nail studs. This is a big castle and so if you want your guests to be heard you need a serious knocker. Mouse imagine the sound from a Gothic horror movie #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset #AdoorableThursday

The medieval gate #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset. The setting is C13, double chamfered pointed segmental arch, and the door, well... the door is magnificent #AdoorableThursday

No expense spared....
Ornate carvings decorate the staircase of #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset. Fruit anyone? #Woodensday

The C17 hall of #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset. Rather nice Renaissance circular arches sit on either side. Shame the portrait is off centre. It makes Mouse's whiskers twitch

Is there such a thing as #WatermillWednesday? Well, if there wasn't, there is now. The mill on the #DunsterCastle estate #Dunster #Somerset
(It's an overshot one if anyone's interested. The alternatives are undershot and one Mouse can't say because it makes her do a rude giggle)

The gatehouse #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset
C15 and one of the earliest parts of the castle. Mouse very glad this survived the various periods of rebuilding. It has a splendid array of square set mullion and panel windows for a start #WindowsOnWednesday

The medieval gateway #DunsterCastle #Dunster #Somerset, probably the oldest pat of the castle. There's an oubliette around here somewhere (but Mouse can't remember where it is) #WindowsOnWednesday

Now that really is a #TinyWindow. One for #TinyWindowTuesday from #DunsterCastle #Somerset. Old. Very old. But one to file under #DullButWorthy

Going underground at #DunsterCastle #Somerset and a chance to play the first ever #MouseTrueOrFalse (no Googling): secret coded messages were often prepared in the dark recesses of cellars and basements and that's where the word 'crypt'ography comes from. True or False?

The #MouseEyeView
"Cause if you like it, then you should've put a crest on it". Oh you did. It's just so subtle Mouse must have missed it. The tower porch of the very grand #DunsterCastle #Somerset #TowerTuesday
