Wincanton

Wincanton is situated on the extreme southeast of Somerset almost on the borders of Dorset and Wiltshire. This part of Somerset is a countryside of diversified and unspoilt scenery which ranges from the lush pastures of the Blackmore Vale, through orchards and richly wooded combes to the hills with panoramic views over Somerset and adjacent counties. Throughout the year Wincanton's famous racecourse stages numerous race meetings - including a full National Hunt programme - and a variety of fairs, displays and events. It also accommodates a 9-hole pay-and-play golf course and in the summer months a popular caravan and campsite.
