This diminutive gatehouse still guards the bridge onto a moated island where only the ruins of a once great castle remain. It is hard to imagine a more picturesque setting. Stogursey Castle can be booked for short breaks with the Landmark Trust, a charity that restores historic buildings at risk and makes them available for holidays.

In a beautiful valley of the river Frome, on the border between Wiltshire and Somerset and only nine miles from Bath, stands the remains of Farleigh Hungerford Castle. Started in the 14th century, it still has much for visitors to enjoy and provides a great day out for families with children, couples and even walkers enjoying the beautiful surrounding countryside.

We live nearby but this was our first visit, excellent. Easy to pre-book, very friendly and helpful staff using masks inside and hand sanitiser before handing things to me. Very good and easy to use audio guide. Clear signage and one way system. Interesting history, fab family tree in the Priest’s house, chapel and crypt amazing. We will go again.

It is a small but perfectly formed mediaeval castle with a perfect moat! Be careful with very young children as the moat is not totally protected and the water is deep! There are also gorgeous wild ducks and ducklings which add to the perfect atmosphere of this site. A small stream passes close to the site and is accessible for paddling with free entry too.The coffee shop nearby does tasty treats too????

This was my first visit to Taunton - indeed to Somerset - and I found the castle and museum a mine of historical information, very well set out and easy to engage with. Nice gift shop, clean toilets, friendly and informative staff. Its free to visit but I would have not been disappointed with a £5-8 charge.
