Wincanton Tourist Information |
|
The charming market town of Wincanton overlooks the Blackmore Vale. Elegant Georgian houses and coaching inns record its former importance as a staging post on the main road from London to Plymouth. Horses still contribute to the town's economy, thanks to Wincanton racecourse, which has a full National Hunt programme. Drive through nearby Bayford and Stoke Trister to Cucklington for panoramic views across Wessex. Pay and play golf course at the racecourse.
