I enjoyed a trip to Somerset recently, staying in Kewstoke, Weston Super Mare and while there we took a trip out with Mary to the pretty village of Nunney which was a lovely place to spend a few hours. 
The main draw was Nunney Castle, an impressive ruin dating form the 14h century. Its got a moat and everything! It has four round corner towers and seriously impressive. It's maintained by English Heritage and it's also free.
Mary scampered around the edge of the moat, leading us to the bridge which takes you inside the castle.
Spot the dog!
Wow, that's big!
After a trip round the moat saying "Woah, this is a BIG castle" we wandered to the village and had a drink in the dog friendly George.
I didn't take many photos in The George, because I was too busy slurping down a drink and salivating over the tapas menu, but I did find this video if you want to get a feel for it.
