PICTURES OF ILMINSTER |
| Ilminster is a medieval market town, the centre of which is dominated by the ancient Minster Church. The town expanded further during the Georgian period with many of the properties being constructed in the local mellow Hamstone, sourced from nearby Ham Hill. The surrounding land is lightly wooded and is designated a Special Landscape area. Ilminster offers a full range of shops and other amenities, together with schooling at primary and middle school levels with numerous sports clubs and churches of various denominations. Ilminster has convenient road access to both the motorway (M5) and to the A303, now a dual carriageway most of the way to the M3. The nearest mainline railway stations are at Crewkerne, Axminster, and in the county town of Taunton. Bath, Bristol, Exeter, and Taunton all offer excellent cultural and shopping facilities and are within easy travelling distance. The World Heritage designated coastline (Lyme Regis, West Bay, Seaton) lies 18 miles to the South of the town. |
