Ilchester Tourist Information

Somerset

Ilchester was once a major Roman garrison town on the Fosse Way and the county town of Somerset until the 19th century. Its past is echoed in the Georgian houses and town hall, which contains a fascinating museum. The Fleet Air Arm museum at RNAS Yeovilton and the 14th century Lytes Cary Manor and gardens are a short drive away.
