Dunster Castle的点评
点评：The 1000 year old Dunster Castle is the main sight in this very charming, historic village. It has a commanding position on the hill looking down over the town - we could see it from the A39 before we even arrived in Dunster.
The original wooden fortress was built by William de Moyon, the first feudal baron of Dunster in the 11th century. Not surprisingly, there’s not a lot of this left. Only the massive gateway at the lower level remains from this early period.
Over the centuries, the fortress was transformed into a palatial home and this is what you see here today.
Having explored the village, we walked uphill to the castle, thinking we’d be able to have a quick look from the outside. However it’s set way back at the end of a long drive and you can’t really see anything of the castle at all without paying to go in. It was £18pp which is fine if you have the time to enjoy it but it’s a lot if like us, you can only manage a quick visit. I think we would have needed at least a couple of hours which we didn’t have. Reluctantly, we decided not to go through.
We were still able to walk around the stables (they are free and are just to the right of the ticket office).
This was very quick and was kind of interesting (much more interesting if you have a connection with horses).
The stables date from the mid 17th century and are some of the oldest still-existing stables in England. With two levels (horses on the ground level and hay storage and living quarters up above), these were grand quarters. They belong to a time when owning a grand stable full of fine horses was a display of wealth and power. The hay mangers run along the walls behind wooden bars and the flooring is made of flat local cobblestones. Even the stalls dividers have ornately turned wooden posts.
If you’re planning on visiting the castle, allow a few hours to see everything and make it worthwhile.

翻译：拥有千年历史的邓斯特城堡是这座迷人历史小镇的主要景点。它雄踞山顶，俯瞰着整个小镇——我们甚至在抵达邓斯特之前，就能从A39公路上看到它。
最初的木制堡垒由邓斯特的第一位封建男爵威廉·德·莫永于11世纪建造。不出所料，如今遗迹所剩无几。只有位于下层的巨大城门还保留着早期的风貌。
几个世纪以来，这座堡垒被改造成一座宫殿式住宅，也就是您今天看到的模样。
游览完小镇后，我们步行上山前往城堡，原本以为可以从外面快速参观一下。然而，城堡位于一条长长的车道尽头，位置很隐蔽，如果不付费入内，根本看不到城堡的任何内部。门票是每人18英镑，如果您有时间细细品味，这当然可以接受，但如果您像我们一样只能匆匆一瞥，那就太贵了。我想我们至少需要几个小时，但我们没有那么多时间。无奈之下，我们只好放弃参观城堡。
不过，我们还是可以去马厩转转（马厩免费，就在售票处右侧）。
参观过程很快，也挺有意思的（如果你对马感兴趣，那就更有意思了）。
这座马厩建于17世纪中期，是英格兰现存最古老的马厩之一。马厩共有两层（底层是马厩，楼上是干草储存区和生活区），规模宏大。在那个年代，拥有一座养满良驹的宏伟马厩是财富和权力的象征。干草槽沿着墙壁排列，后面是木栅栏，地面铺着当地特有的平整鹅卵石。就连马厩的隔板也装饰着精美的木柱。
如果你打算参观城堡，建议预留几个小时，这样才能不虚此行。
