Beautiful architecture, a lively cultural scene and an ever-growing set of offbeat house traditions (an annual Carribean-style goat roast and frequent bathrobe brunches among them) lend Dunster a unique character. And, boasting a strong bunch of hardcore recyclers, Dunster is rapidly becoming enviro-house as well...
