Yeovil is a modern south Somerset town near ancient spots such as Durdle Door and Stonehenge. The name Yeovil derives from the word 'Givele', meaning 'the river noble', and is probably named after the river Yeo north of the town.
Yeovil is 130 miles from London. It’s not far from Bristol – a mere 40 miles, and is just 30 miles from Taunton and its famous cider production.
Yeovil was formerly a hub for aircraft and for the defence industry. In the 1800s, Yeovil was famous for its glove-making industry. It was also home to the first-ever combustion engine motorcar.
Today, one of the biggest employers in town is Leonardo, a helicopter manufacturer: their aircraft and defence activities in the town date back to the last century. Other top employers in Yeovil are Screwfix, Numatic, Samsung Electronics, as well as the Royal Navy Air Station.
Nestled in the beautiful Somerset countryside, Yeovil is rich in open green spaces, parks, and footpaths. Yeovil Country Park, for instance, is only a half-hour walk or a five-minute drive south of the town. Milford Park is a short walk or drive from the town centre, while Yeo Park is a ten-minute walk. All are perfect for a family day out.
Being located on an old Roman road, Yeovil will also no doubt be of interest to history-lovers – there's a traditional Friday market which has existed there since medieval times. Today, Yeovil town centre offers national retailers, gaming and tech stores, and fancy clothing boutiques, as well as quirky independent stores and cafés.
For those guests' stays that are only complete with access to health and fitness facilities, Goldenstones fitness Centre and Buckler’s Mead fitness Centre won't disappoint, as both have their own gym and swimming pool.
