Catch the first train from Bishops Lydeard to Dunster for a super magical day at the picture postcard village of Dunster.
The village lies about one mile from Dunster Station along a country lane and quiet roads. The main road is traversed by footpath and underpass. There are no steps.
Consider taking the Dunster Castle Express which runs on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 4 April to 3 November 2012. The inclusive package includes the return train ride from Bishops Lydeard to Dunster and a courtesy bus ride to the Station to Dunster Castle and back in time for the 4.12pm back to Bishops Lydeard. Full details of the Dunster Castle Express can be found here

Lots of shops, cafes and sights to see - including the impressive Castle overlooking the ancient village street with its Yarn Market building.
Plenty of time to relax, shop or visit the Castle and its superb gardens.
Keep an eye on the time as on some days in early spring and autumn the last train leaves Dunster just after 4 o'clock.
For most of the summer however there is plenty of time to enjoy the beach or the town before catching the last train - be on the platform just after half past five.
