Durable recycled plastic signage for National Trust site
Dunster Castle, a National Trust property in Somerset, required new visitor signage that would be in keeping with the heritage location. Recycled plastic signage was supplied as it also needed to be suitable for heavily shaded or damp areas where timber could be prone to rotting
Dunster Castle, a National Trust property in Somerset, is a fortified country house situated on a wooded hill called the Tor, with parts of it dating back to the 11th century.
Attractions include the original 13th century gates, gardens with four different microclimates, a 17th century carved staircase, a working watermill and views over Exmoor and the Bristol Channel.
The site required new signage that would be suitable for a range of locations in and around the property.
Products supplied
Hornbeck supplied a suite of recycled plastic signage for Dunster Castle. This has proved ideal for the site as it is discreet, long-lasting and waterproof. It is especially effective in heavily shaded or damp areas where timber could be prone to rotting. The engraved and painted text contrasts very well and is a low-maintenance cost-effective solution for the National Trust.
