What a fantastic bit of history, and a beautiful location. I sat for a while and found it to have a really nice energy. Considering one of the walls was brought down with cannon balls and its involvement with the civil war. You can't get into the structure itself but can walk around the and see it well. There isn't much else at this site. Nunney is a hidden gem tucked away in a charming village. Though it's a ruin, the structure is still incredibly impressive, with its and medieval architecture giving a real sense of history. It’s a peaceful spot, perfect for a short stroll or a quiet moment to soak in the scenery. Well worth a visit if you're in the area—especially with the cosy local pub nearby Vey quick walk round the castle. Disappointing that the bridge across the was closed and no actual date for being reopened. A little village. Enjoyed watching the ducks on the little stream that runs next to the castle. What a fabulous place to visit. It is just over an hour to get to from Bristol. It was a journey through some winding lanes and leafy bowers roads. The is chocolate box picturesque. We parked in the parking area - the old quarry gardens just by the sign of Nunney. A 2 minute walk takes you to this small medieval moated castle. Free to walk around. If you go on a blue sky day, then the photos are fabulous. There are benches, or you can sit on the grass for a picnic. It is not huge, and the bridge is shut to go inside temporarily. Lots of birds around. There is a small cafe nearby but it was closed when we went. If you walk over the bridge, you can access the small church. It has an interesting history. The Knight who built the has his tomb and effigy there. There is also a little mini library of books for sale. You can pay for the books by card or cash and at only one pound each. The pub, the George and Pilgrim, is very welcoming. gardens to sit at. Modern and quirky inside. They do some food and seem to have a lot of music and activities ( jazz nights and quizzes) happening on a regular basis. It looks as though you can stay there too, and it does have a car park attached to the pub. There looks like some walks to go on around the village, and the locals were so friendly. Will definitely be back. Hey, Nunney Nunney! So, there's not a lot to do - but that's the point. It's so quiet and relaxing to just sit on a bunch and stare at the reflections in the moat's water. Compact beauty in a wonderful setting. We took a stroll around the castle. It took a few minutes but the was beautiful, what with the reflections of the trees. I'd bring a picnic, next time. We didn't go, but the George was recommended fir food and it's a minute a away. Second visit, unfortunately the bridge to get across the water is closed for h&s reasons and needs £150k for a new one. I could do one for half that price, not exactly the Severn estuary. castle, would recommend a trip but your round it in 5 mins so plan a few things in the area. Quaint little in a very picturesque village. Great place to have lunch on the bench just beside the moat! Would've been 5 stars but unfortunately entry is barred due to required bridge upgrade work Although small, for a short visit it's beautiful on a sunny day. A meander round the is fabulous, and a meal athe 'The George' a afternoon all in all. The history is fascinating, and the was a surprise.
