Dunster Packhorse Playground

If you know, you know — this little playground beside the river ford is one of those spots locals keep quietly to themselves. The enclosure means you’re not constantly chasing after toddlers, which honestly makes the whole trip less stressful. Kids tend to gravitate toward the water feature, and if they’re older they’ll want to splash around in the ford too, so pack a spare set of clothes. There’s proper shaded seating for adults, parking nearby, and the whole place is kept in genuinely good nick — not the kind of council playground where half the equipment is taped off. A solid village park that punches above its weight.
