The Chase

Getting around
Wincanton is in the extreme south-east of Somerset on the borders of Dorset and Wiltshire and is served by a number of major trunk roads. The A303 through the town is the main route from London to Cornwall and links the area with the M5 and the M3. The A37 offers a direct route north to Bristol and to the scenic Dorset coast to the south. The railway station five miles away at Templecombe & Castle Cary station offers services to major UK cities including London, Exeter and Bath, while coaches run from Yeovil. For air travel Bristol International Airport is approximately 35 miles away and ferry services run from Poole, just 40 miles away.

Every month there is a popular Farmers' Market in the town centre. Gillingham, Shaftesbury and Yeovil are not far and have many well known High Street brands and supermarkets.
