Almost nothing reliable is known about the life of Saint George, to whom this church was dedicated, but veneration of him stretches back to early Christianity. A martyr identified with George is said to have lived in the third century. The legend of Saint George as the dragon slayer, however, is quite well known and widespread; he is often depicted—in paintings or statues—as the conqueror of the monster, often as a knight on horseback. The feast day of the very popular Saint George in the calendar of saints is celebrated on April 23rd in both the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches. Among other things, he is the patron saint of the English kingdom, and some of the orders and decorations awarded there bear his name.

Moderate trail for all to enjoy.

Dunkery Beacon at the summit of Dunkery Hill is the highest point on Exmoor and in Somerset, England. It is also the highest point in southern England outside of Dartmoor. The sandstone hill rises to 519 metres and provides views over the surrounding moorland, the Bristol Channel, and hills up to 86 miles away.

The Priory Church of St George in Dunster, Somerset, England, is predominantly 15th-century with evidence of 12th- and 13th-century work. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building.

This late medieval stone bridge - originally 'gallows bridge' - across the River Avill once carried packhorses bringing fleeces from Exmoor to the Somerset market town of Dunster. The town had become a centre of the wool trade by the 13th century, when it was the main source of England's wealth.

Dunster is a village and civil parish in Somerset, England, within the northeastern boundary of Exmoor National Park. It lies on the Bristol Channel 2.5 miles southeast of Minehead and 20 miles northwest of Taunton. At the 2011 Census, it had a population of 817. There are Iron Age hillforts in the area.

Dunster is almost indecently pretty and exactly how you would imagine an English village to be... If only the traffic didn't meander through. Between us Komootlers: don't come by car, there are only a few (expensive) parking spaces. Better walk here from Minehead, the path through the forest is beautiful!

This medieval stone bridge was originally called Gallows Bridge. It crosses the River Avill, and packhorses used to cross it when heading to the market town of Dunster.

This church contains elements from different periods. Although it dates back to the 15th century, the church was started in the 11th century and also features 12th and 13th-century work. The tower was added in the mid-15th century (taking three years to complete), and the aisles were added in 1504. It underwent a restoration in the last quarter of the 19th century. It is designated as a Grade I listed building.

Beautiful church, simply stunning and there is much more to see in this iconic English town.

Just an iconic English town that is just simply beautiful.

The highest northerly point on the Quantock Hills, the trig point and summit of Beacon Hill is a great viewpoint and run target. It stands at 310m and looks down over Bridgewater Bay and the Kilve coast. The running along the trails on the Quantock ridge is brilliant and although sometimes wet underfoot it's always good. You can run a long loop out to Wills Neck or further or link Beacon Hill with a coastal loop past Kilve.

Separate the walk from a visit to the attractive Dunster village and castle.

This charming church is largely 15th-century, although there's been a church here for far longer and older sections are in evidence. A Grade I-listed building, it sits in the village of Dunster on the edge of Exmoor National Park. The churchyard is beautiful, with historical buildings alongside it.

Sitting on the edge of Exmoor National Park and just a stone's throw from the coast, Dunster is a beautiful village and a perfect base for hikes in the area. There are over 200 listed buildings here, so don't forget your camera because it's exceptionally picturesque. There's a castle too, dating back to the 11th century.

Fabulous views both east and west along the coastline and across the Bristol Channel to Wales. The trig point is at 310m, the highest northerly point on the Quantock Hills.
