After the success of last year's event, I have been asked if would organise this event again. So, here we go.

Whilst the weekend is initially aimed at walkers, all members are welcome to join us as there is lots to do in the area. Lots of fun to be had.

The Yarn Market is an independent, 3-star Hotel in Dunster, which prides itself on friendly service and hearty food.

Situated in the Medieval village of Dunster within Exmoor National Park, The Yarn Market Hotel is the perfect place to get away from normality and have a chance to relax in this beautiful area.

A warm welcome awaits all who want to enjoy the magnificent surroundings of Exmoor and West Somerset, including dogs! Being in this stunning area, the Hotel is able to specialise in walking holidays in Exmoor and many special interests breaks in Dunster.

Things to do:

Dunster Castle – A National Trust property, so please don’t forget your membership cards.
