Wincanton is a small town located in the south-eastern part of Somerset, England. It's perhaps best known for Wincanton Racecourse, a key venue for thoroughbred horse racing events, including several notable national hunt races. The town itself is charming, with a number of independent shops and eateries lending a sense of community.
Historically, Wincanton is known for its brush making industry, and during the 19th century, it was a significant stopover point for coaches travelling between London and the South West of England. One of its most distinctive landmarks is the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, a Grade II listed building dating back to the 14th century.
Wincanton is surrounded by several picturesque towns and villages. To the north, the historic town of Bruton offers attractions such as the Hauser & Wirth Somerset, a pioneering world-class gallery and multi-purpose arts centre. The town of Castle Cary, known for its attractive market house, is also nearby.
To the south of Wincanton lies the Dorset AONB Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, an idyllic landscape perfect for walking, cycling, and nature spotting. Sherborne, located just beyond the county boundary in Dorset, is famous for its Abbey, castles, and independent schools. These neighbouring locations each add their own charm and offer a variety of sights and experiences for visitors to the Wincanton area.
