About:
Built by a soldier returning from fighting abroad, Nunney Castle is as much the realisation of an ideal as a stronghold intended for serious defence. It was built by a knight called John de la Mare under a royal licence issued in 1373.

Dogs on leads are welcome.

Entry Charge:
Variable prices (see website)

Parking:
There is a free car park, a short walk away, off Castle Hill. The walk to the castle involves a moderate hill down into the village.

Facilities:
There are no public toilets in Nunney, but there is a pub and a shop.

Notes:
Although the majority of the site is level, there are a small number of steps at the entry gate and on to the bridge over the moat.
The castle is surrounded by a deep moat with steep sides.
Do not climb on the walls.
