Ilminster takes its name from the River Ile and the Minster church dating from 1450. The town grew up around the church and some of the oldest buildings are close to the churchyard including the grammar school founded in 1549.
Two hundred years ago as many as seventeen stage coaches a day would pass through Wincanton. Today approach it from the north along what was once the main London road (the A303 bypasses the town) and it is easy to imagine very little has changed.
The surrounding fields and hills are crossed by public footpaths & bridleways which are enjoyed by local walkers and riders. Bincome Beeches Nature Reserve provides panoramic views of the town and the surrounding countryside.
