Discover Wincanton: A Picturesque Market Town in Somerset

Wincanton is an attractive and thriving market town situated just inside Somerset, but almost on the borders of Wiltshire and Dorset. A wealth of interesting small shops purvey everything from antiques and curios, to wholesome local food and fine wines from across the world. Teashops, old coaching inns, and restaurants cater for a broad range of tastes and appetites. Some occupy fine 18th century buildings, and despite modern shopfronts and motorcars, the overall appearance of the town centre has changed little since the mid-19th century.
