Local area guide
Skip hire in Yeovil
Yeovil is a market town in south Somerset, close to the Dorset border, on the River Yeo that gives it its name. With a population of around 50,000, it is one of the largest towns in Somerset and the main shopping and employment centre for the surrounding area. People have lived here since Roman times, and Yeovil is recorded in the Domesday Book. It grew through the Middle Ages as a busy market town serving the rich farmland of the Somerset and Dorset countryside.
The town's most striking historic building is the Church of St John the Baptist. This 14th-century church is known as the "Lantern of the West" because of its many large windows. Like many buildings in and around Yeovil, it is built from golden Ham stone quarried at nearby Ham Hill, which gives the area its warm, honey-coloured look. For centuries Yeovil was also one of the leading centres of glove making in England, and the trade employed thousands of local people well into the 20th century.
Yeovil is best known today for aviation. Westland Aircraft began here in 1915 as an offshoot of the Petters engineering company. It went on to build aircraft and later became one of the world's leading helicopter makers. Now part of Leonardo Helicopters, the works is still the town's biggest employer. The Fleet Air Arm Museum at RNAS Yeovilton, a few miles north, is home to one of the largest collections of naval aircraft in Europe. Yeovil Town FC is famous for its FA Cup giant-killing, most notably beating Sunderland in 1949.
The surrounding area has plenty to see. Montacute House, a grand Elizabethan mansion owned by the National Trust, lies just to the west. Ham Hill Country Park offers wide views, walking trails and the remains of a large Iron Age hillfort. Closer to the town centre, Yeovil Country Park and Ninesprings provide woodland walks and green space. The Octagon Theatre hosts touring shows and concerts, and the Haynes Motor Museum at Sparkford is a short drive away.
Yeovil has two railway stations. Yeovil Junction is on the West of England line, with direct trains to London Waterloo and Exeter. Yeovil Pen Mill is on the Heart of Wessex line between Bristol and Weymouth. The A303 runs just north of the town, giving fast road access to London and the South West, and the A37 and A30 link Yeovil to Dorchester, Sherborne and Somerset's other towns. Homes include Ham stone cottages and Victorian terraces near the centre and inter-war and post-war estates across the suburbs. There are also large new developments on the edges of town, including Lufton, Brimsmore and Wyndham Park.
