A picturesque moated medieval castle, Nunney Castle in Frome, Somerset dates from the 1370s.
Its builder was Sir John de la Mare, a local knight who was beginning to enjoy royal favour.
Much modernised in the late 16th century, the castle was besieged and damaged by the Parliamentarians in 1645, during the English Civil War.
Though ruined, Nunney's dramatic great tower is very well preserved. Its four round corner towers and connecting walls are tightly encircled by the castle moat.
