Free Parking is available on the streets in the village, however space is limited and they are very busy in peak times. Alternatively there are 2 Pay & Display car parks, the smaller in Park Street (£4.70 – 24 hours) and a larger one on Dunster Steep (£4.70 – 24 hours). As well as this you can park in the National Trust car park in the grounds of Dunster Castle (free for members, daily charges in place for non-members).
