Nunney

If you have an extra day here then you can visit the delightful little village of Nunney, four miles south-west of Frome (buses run here Monday to Saturdays) which also is the home of Somerset’s best-preserved castle. Built in the 1370s by the local baron Sir John de la Mare, one of the knights of King Edward III, the castle took a pounding in the English civil war when it was besieged by the forces of Oliver Cromwell.
