Dunster, in Exmoor National Park, has many listed buildings including 200 Grade II, two Grade I and two Grade II*.

The 17th century Yarn Market is a market cross which was probably built in 1609 by the Luttrell family who were the local lords of the manor to maintain the importance of the village as a market, particularly for wool and cloth.
The Yarn Market is an octagonal building constructed around a central pier.
The tiled roof provides shelter from the rain.
The building contains a hole in one of the roof beams, a result of cannon fire in the Civil War.
A bell at the top was rung to indicate the start of trading.

Nearby was an older cross known as the Butter Cross which was constructed in the late 14th or early 15th century and once stood in the High Street, possibly at the southern end of the high street, and was moved to its current location on the edge of the village possibly in 1825, however a drawing by J. M. W. Turner made in 1811 suggests it was in its present position by then.
The site where the cross now stands was leveled in 1776 by workman, paid by Henry Fownes Luttrell, and it may have been on this occasion that the cross was moved.
The cross has an octagonal base and polygonal shaft, however the head of the cross has been lost.
It stands on a small area of raised ground on a plinth.
The socket stone is 0.85 metres (2 ft 9 in) wide and 0.5 metres (1 ft 8 in) high.
The surviving shaft is 1.1 metres (3 ft 7 in) high and changes from square to octagonal as it rises.
There is an inscription on the northern face which says "WC, 1871, WS" recording a restoration.
It is in the care of English Heritage for the state and managed by the National Trust.

Other notable buildings include the Nunnery, Dunster Watermill, Dovecote and the Priory barn, which belonged to Dunster Priory.
Dunster Working Watermill (also known as Castle Mill) is a restored 18th century watermill, situated on the River Avill, close to Gallox Bridge, in the grounds of Dunster Castle.
It is a Grade II* listed building.
The mill stands on a site where a mill was first recorded in the Domesday Book, but the present building was constructed around 1780.
It closed in 1962 but was restored in 1979 and is still used to grind flour.
The equipment is powered by two overshot wheels.
It is owned by the National Trust but operated as a tourist attraction by a private company.

The Dovecote was probably built in the late 16th century.
It has been designated as a Grade II* listed building and Scheduled Ancient Monument.
It is approximately 19 feet (5.8 m) high and 19 feet (5.8 m) in diameter, with walls around 4 feet (1.2 m) thick.
In the 18th century the floor level and door were raised among several major alterations.
The lower tiers of nest holes were blocked to protect against brown rats which had arrived in the Britain in 1720 and reached Somerset by 1760.
A revolving ladder, known as a "potence", was installed to allow the pigeon keeper to search the nest holes more easily.
In the 19th century two feeding platforms were added to the axis of the revolving ladder.
When the ladder was installed in the 16th century the base rests on a pin driven into a beam on the floor.
The head of the pin sits in a metal cup in the base of the wooden pillar, which means the mechanism has never had to be oiled.
When the Dunster Castle estate was sold the dovecote was bought by the Parochial church council and opened to the public.
Extensive repairs were undertaken in 1989.

The Tithe Barn was originally part of a Benedictine Dunster Priory, has been much altered since the 14th century and only a limited amount of the original features survive.
In the "Valor Ecclesiasticus" of 1535 the net annual income of the Dunster Tithe Barn is recorded as being £37.4s.8d (£37.23p), with £6.13s.7d ( £6.68p ) being passed on to the priory in Bath.
The Somerset Buildings Preservation Trust (SBPT) has co-ordinated a £550,000 renovation project on behalf of the Dunster Tithe Barn Community Hall Trust (DTBCHT), into a multi-purpose community hall under a 99-year lease at a pepper-corn rent, by
