Situation - Yeovil is the main regional town for the area and has an excellent range of shopping, business and leisure amenities. There are excellent road links close by as Yeovil is within the A303 and A37 corridor. Yeovil also benefits from mainline rail links (London Waterloo) and is within easy motoring distance of the county town (Taunton) and the Jurassic coast. Known as Ivell in Thomas Hardy’s Wessex, Yeovil is mentioned in the Domesday Book as a thriving market community and is still a country town at heart surrounded by beautiful countryside. An important centre for the leather industry in the 19th century, the town is famous for its glove making with its football club nick-named the Glovers and for making helicopters, as military equipment is the town’s biggest export, and Leonardo Helicopters is the biggest employer. It has numerous shops, a 23 acre country park, theatre and entertainment centre. Settled in ancient times on a major Roman route through the West Country, Yeovil means ‘town on the river’.
