In pictures: Full steam ahead at Dunster Castle
A new service is being launched to bring visitors to Dunster Castle by steam train. It is hoped that the service will attract more tourists to the area.
Visitors to Dunster Castle will arrive in vintage style on the West Somerset Railway with a special coach link between Dunster Station and the Castle.
The new service - called the Dunster Castle Express - will run every Wednesday until October from Bishops Lydeard station, near Taunton, to Dunster Station. A coach will then take people up to the castle.
Run by the National Trust and West Somerset Railway, the Dunster Express will link two tourist attractions to "give a full day out".
Seamus Rogers, National Trust property manager at Dunster Castle, said: "The steam train ride through the foothills of the Quantocks and along the coast is delightful and prepares the traveller for the drama of Dunster Castle."
