Ilchester, sat along the River Yeo, 5 miles north of Yeovil, is a stunning Somerset countryside village, renowned for making speciality cheeses. While dairy products have helped make the village's name, there's a lot more to see and do than you'd first expect. To get to grips with the local terrain why not hire a car from Ilchester? Our conveniently placed branch is found directly in the heart of the village, and could drastically alter your holiday experience by saving you time and offering you complete freedom.
Be sure to experience the Somerset Rural Life Museum, housed within a magnificent 14th century barn. Take part in some unusual agricultural activities and traditions, as well as touring the vast displays of Somerset farming tools and their uses. You can find this culturally historic gem around 20 minutes outside of Ilchester by car, in the ancient town of Glastonbury.
Hiring a car from Ilchester also means you can stop by the enchanting Tintinhull Garden, a National Trust treasure no more than six minutes away. Alongside the two acres of well-kept gardens, you have quaint tearooms, and selected open rooms of the old house to savour while visiting.
