12 days of Christmas trail

Blow off the cobwebs and join us for the 12 days of Christmas trail around the house and garden.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Follow the map around the house and gardens to discover Dunster Castle’s very own version of this traditional Christmas song, inspired by what the household were doing between Christmas and New Year. Look for the hounds-a running, deer-a leaping, hobby horses prancing and a swan in a Christmas tree. Will you sing the song once you’ve found them all?
