Dunster Yarn Market
The Yarn Market in Dunster is an octagonal timber market hall standing in the centre of the beautiful Somerset village, dating from around 1609 when Dunster was a thriving centre of the local cloth trade. Remarkably well preserved, it's a lovely example of early seventeenth-century commercial architecture and sits perfectly within Dunster's picturesque streetscape of medieval and Tudor buildings. A brief stop here offers a vivid glimpse into the wool and textile trade that once drove the Somerset economy.
