Nearby is a Victorian castle built in 1847, which is now a Grade II listed restaurant and hotel, and to the west of the castle are the remains of Roman occupation. A glass bowl was found engraved with hunting scenes and the words ‘Vivas cum tvis pies’ i.e. Long life to you and yours, drink and you will live.High Street in Banwell is a narrow winding hill with cottages on each side.
